How paralysing the thought
So far off into the paranoia
Yet constantly picking up speed
Gaining on the edges of reality
Denial not only left to grow solo
Shared for terror’s sake
Double trouble brews
Worst case always floods through
None of bright sunshine and happy days
Instead constricting shape
Quickly spiralling out of control
Damaging the fragile
As convinced of thickset
Despite desperate effort
Smaller now, forever more
Losing rational sights highly set
Drastic measures mount
Quest for perfection so wrongly gone
Should the unthinkable come to light
Blame the accomplice
Whose silences are kept
For fear of others wept
