Keeping My Distance

My mind has been in a coma
Shocked into a solid sleep
Unable to feel, sense or express anything

Quietly distraught with no solace to be found

and when thoughts have always been the life blood that sustains me
and my words the sutures that heal

I find myself now,

lifeless, still, and scarred so deep that the pain is visible, tangible and infectious...
and distance, breathes life into the virus
