Routine

A routine is formed

I come home

shrouded in the desertedness

of my mind

longing for you

like a lost person 

longs for water in the desert

Though I am not physically deserted

but people around me

are not getting registered

In my head

I found the attention of mine

solely focused

on you and only you

Life has taken such a

sudden turn where

I feel like the control 

of steering is devoid from me

I used to be my driving force

but the torque you have

generated in my consciousness

is the one driving my thoughts 

but hopefully not my actions

I don't want to come across 

as some desperate

I just want your attention

nothing else, nothing else

or is it too much of

something to ask
