Routine

-*-

Just passing by,

not looking up,

and you still direct my daily routine.

Neither a word,

nor waving a hand,

and I still expect yourself to be keen.

-*-

Nameless wight,

easy to forget,

no wonder your walk never ends in here.

Step after step,

afar now from me,

as I never try to force you to veer.

-*-

Silent observer,

with plenty to loose,

sitting by the corner and watching out.

Thinking of words,

for sharing a lot,

keeping in some as not meant to tout.

-*-

I see no gain,

I guess I lost,

even before I have tried to amend.

Forge a new path?

I doubt I'll do,

my daily routine will go on to no end.
