in passing

Standing alone, as life swarms around me,
    I let them pass.

My eyes feel dry for all the tears I have cried,
I can cry no more,
    I let them pass.

As people pass me all day, consumed by everyday,
I wonder about them,
    I let them pass.

As the days turn to nights and the nights turn to days,
I lose count of them,
    I let them pass.

I cant see the point of joining the line,
What is the point?
    I let them pass.

He stands beside me as I watch life go,
We stand united,
    We let them pass.

He grows tired of me,
He wants to leave,
    I watch him pass.
