Grief
Dark
Deep
An emotional duvet
A patched work
Stitched with frayed time
Worn out thread-bare excuses
Guilt woven in and out of the feeling weft
The centre did not hold
The synapse fractured
Flaying the fabric of sensation
Allowing the deep abyss to perforate the cover
Haemorrhages through
Staining the quilt
Spreading
Creeping
Crawling
Over, in, under and out
Variegating the patches
Tinting the needlework
Until the original colour is lost
Sinking
Pulling
Enveloping
Smothering
