"Waiting For You" // Poem

You know, I've been thinking

And I realised I've lost count

Of how many years it's been since you left

It's been that long

I remember that midwinter's morning

When you told me you had to leave

I said goodbye to you in the falling snow

And you didn't tell me you were coming back

You didn't promise me anything

Though before you turned away

I thought I saw

A look in your eyes

An unspoken vow that you'd return

Though maybe I was mistaken

Maybe I imagined it

Maybe there was no look, no vow

And you never intended to come back at all

But I waited for you

As the days turned into weeks

And the weeks turned into months

And the months turned into years

But you know, I've had a great life

I've seen empires rise and fall

I've lived through things most wouldn't even imagine

But through it all

I always thought

About what it would be like if you were by my side

If you'd only returned

But the years turned into decades

And the decades turned into centuries

And I'm still waiting for you

Though I persuaded myself that I no longer care

That I've let you go

I know deep down in the depths of my soul

That no matter what happens

No matter how long I live

I'll always be waiting for you

To come back

To me.

                                                                                        

Well, I hope you enjoyed that excuse for a poem. I wrote it during the summer and actually already posted it on this blog, but that was back when I still had an average of zero readers, so I thought I'd re-post it so my newer followers can check it out. If this is the second time you're reading this, sorry mate, what can I do. Also I have no better post ideas than this, and what's more, no time to write any other posts - I've been busy working on my new writing project and that takes up pretty much all my writing time. I do have a couple of posts planned in my mind, but I'm not sure when I'm going to have time to write them down.

Anyway, let me know what you thought of my poem.

Gotta run,

-Indigo

    This makes me feel a bit sad, perhaps some sort of brokenhearted-ness. Your poem made me think that some things (or people for that matter) are meant to leave our lives, and sometimes the hole left in our hearts will forever be missing the piece to make it whole. That's a heavy burden.

    Anyways, good luck with your new writing project XD Take it all on your own pace and don't rush! I look forward to knowing more about it :D

      Omg thank you so much! I'm so glad you liked it! :D

      No, I never thought of that actually... I'm not very good at writing songs (and even worse at singing them, lol) XD

      I've only written instrumental music, but I think that your poem would be great in a song. XD

"Not Like Other Girls" // Poetry

I’m not like other girls. I’m not beautiful, Or clever, Or talented, Or ambitious, Or loyal. I don’t know how to take a compliment and I sure as hell don’t know how to give one, I don’t know how to support other girls because all I think about is myself I don’t know what friendship truly means because I don’t really trust anyone, not deep down I only know how to be alone I can’t find happiness in the simple things Like pretty flowers Or a new eyeshadow palette Or a fairy-tale house Or a sunset I only see the rain Never the rainbow I only hear the individual notes Never the symphony I am a single black tulip among a field of beautiful, colourful blossoms And it hurts It hurts a lot I used to think I didn’t feel enough Now I know the opposite is true I don’t feel enough about the real world, I don’t care enough about the people and things happening around me I’m too detached from real life It’s frightening But I feel too much when it comes to my stories, my characters, the universe insi

Indigo's Monthly Writing Challenge: November

Image
Hey guys, it's time for the November edition of my Monthly Writing Challenge! (Actually on time for once...) Can you believe it's already November?! Erm, hello? 2017? Can you hear me? WHY THE HELL ARE YOU GOING BY SO QUICKLY?!?! Like I swear it was September a few days ago?? Where has October gone? Can someone bring it back, please? No, I swear, this year is going by waaaayyyy too quickly. Is there like a stop button or something I can press to make time go by a little slower. Anyway, I hope you all had a spook-tacular Halloween yesterday! I didn't really do much, just stayed at home and opened the door to trick-or-treaters. (We get a LOT in our neighbourhood. I swear I was running to and from the door non-stop for about two hours. Halloween: the most exhausting night of the year.) I dressed up as a wizard, this was my costume: My mum made the cape and part of the hat, and I wore make-up for literally the first time in a year. The most frightening part of the day

Interview with a made-up character - NO it's not as insane as it sounds (IT'S EVEN WORSE, RUN WHILE YOU STILL CAN)

Hey there, guys! Today I've got a very special post for you: I'm going to be interviewing one of my characters! Yep, I'm going to interview - *purple-eyed, red-headed girl of about eighteen, wearing extremely colourful clothes and a very wide white hat with a purple feather, stalks in* Hey, what's up. Me: Hey - wait, what?! What are you doing here, Trinity? Trinity: Well, duh. I'm here for the interview, of course. Me: What - no - you're  not meant to be here! I'm meant to be interviewing Harley, the main character in the novella I intend to start writing soon! Trinity: You mean, the one you're too lazy to start writing? Me: Shut up. But yes, that's the one.  Why isn't she here? Trinity: Couldn't make it, so I came instead. She's probably in a corner somewhere, contemplating how terrible her story is and how bad a character she is. Me: You do realise that if you insult my ability to create characters, the joke's on you
