The race to work was hurried and dark,
I arrived obscenely early, no place for me to park.
Everyone is asleep, even the bees.
Speedily walking towards my calming seas.
To discover the person who usually greets me,
Is nowhere is sight, this is quite unroutine.
The food I was craving, was no where is sight,
I left the building to find daylight.
Awkwardly waiting for the chaos to arrive,
I replayed the thoughts I had through the drive.
You've been gone for a week and greet me with a smile.
I avoid eye contact, you hurt me, you know.
So why do you make me put on this show?
The tasks are assigned, the jokes are made.
Turn back to the computer, that I stare at all day.
I saw the hello, had no time to reply.
As I wanted to put forth the same effort in my sight.
Now as I settle in my quiet space,
I wonder why I sit here with a smile on my face?
Good evening for me now, lol.
