Someone used to be.

Us in we.

The she, he, they cannot stay.

Work worn wasted.

Tasted a lick of success.

Just to keep drinking,

ounces of failure.

Failure to see.

Failure to quit.

Failure to rise.

Lost, bespeckled, and forgiven.

Forgotten, mortified, and stained.

Alone. Alone. Alone.

Seizing Up.

Extreme Situation.

Emptied.

Gone.

Only.

Nothing.

Egress.
