The Girl Who Waited

I watch how quickly time slips by for I.

I lived a year measured in seconds timed.

How fast time flies has never been a rule.

I walked into rooms trapped in speeding time.

Or were the others all slowing down?

Now I'm separated from the ones I know.

I must fend for myself though I'm still young.

Left alone, but they promised they would come.

To survive I adapted, became strong.

I learned life's lessons the hard way.

I grew up bitter, alone with robots.

I learned no one comes like they promised.
