 Meltdown

            She slid softly
                      down the sofa
                           like warm toffee off an apple

            We watched as she
                    slowly
                      melted,
                         and
                             drip
                                by
                                  drip
           became a stressed mess on the floor.
we were used to it.
                        it was all done for attention.

            When she  went into
                        total
                              melt
                                 down,
          and could not scrape herself off the carpet.
           
            We phoned the sweet factory,
                who discreetly came,
                        scooped her up,
                            wrapped her in foil,
                                  and took her  away
                                              in the factory van.

            They say shes clinging to a grapevine now.
                  Being supported
                        by the tender tendrils
                                                of
                                        cheap vin rouge
