Lost

They go forward,
She steps back.
Their hearts beat rhythmically,
Hers flutters.
They expect the day,
She is stuck in the unknown.
They are a unit,
She is a broken piece.
They do it all,
She barely gets through.
They grow stronger,
She gets worse.
They surge ahead,
She falls behind.
Where did they go?
Gone.
