Self Destruct

Oh so rapidly everything slips through your fingertips
Things so out of reach 
One moment you have it all
The next you just don't 
One second you're doing just fine
The next you're spinning into oblivion
One moment you have control
The next it's all lost 
Weeks pass, you still don't know the day 
You're on self destruct mode
There's no panic button
Just the self destruct
Oh so tempting. 
I'll just leave your hand hoovering.
