STD


He lingers
Alone.
Watching others
From the depths
Of his self-imposed
Isolation.

He slips
Farther
Into seclusion
Due to
His mental
Deterioration.

He remembers
Vaguely
Feeling included
And working
At
Social integration.

That was
Before
She left,
Forcing his
Emotions into
Regression.

She cursed
Him
With a disease,
Leaving no room
For his
Progression.

Now he
Suffers,
Day and night,
From Socially
Transmitted
Depression.
