Crash and Burn

A puff of smoke, my soul it shook,
A tiny hole, that's all it took.
My heart spewed flame and I was to learn,
It doesn't take much to crash and burn.

You did it swift and kept it clean,
The way you are, you can't be mean.
But such simple words can still destroy,
that which was a man, now just a boy.

My armor now cracked, it begins to crumble,
systems fail, my spirits tumble.
On fire I fell and hit the ground,
but I doubt you even heard the sound.

My pride you crushed and I ran away,
To live to fight another day,
But my wounded heart you seem to spurn,
Reminds me how to crash and burn.
