The Waiting Game

August 30, 2010 by Cerridwyn Tiponi

She sits forlornly

Waiting; always waiting, but

No one ever comes.

hmm, in that case either she should stop waiting or she should go out and reach out to others. 🙂

  Hi Trisha,
  Guess you’re right. However, one needs to deduce her story first. Thank you for reading.

I liked this one. Who did you have in mind when you created this?

  Hi Keshav,
  Glad you like it. Actually, this was born out of an insecure moment when loneliness pervades the air. It was written to express the thoughts of anyone who waits for visitors no matter how old or how young.
