After months upon months of reading FanFiction, I finally got brave enough to try writing something myself. This poem came about because of a single phrase that had been haunting me for a few days. 'I was there.' So, I decided to write something, since I found out a few weeks ago that ignoring an idea doesn't go away- it just makes my muses nag more.
So, here it is. I hope you like it.
Elfin
I was there
I
was always there.
When
you were young,
I
was there.
He
left you when you were small.
When
you cried yourself to sleep at night,
I
was there.
He
was sleeping soundly in his mansion.
When
you were learning to sing,
I
was there.
He
was being trained for the military.
When
you were a simple chorus girl,
I
was there.
He
walked right by you without a second glance.
When
you became the diva,
I
was there.
He
finally recognized you.
That
night on the rooftop,
I
was there.
I
watched you give him your love.
I
gave you my love.
I
gave you my music.
I
gave you my devotion.
But
he offered more.
He
appeared and you went to him.
You
denied true love.
You
denied me.
But
you are happy with the boy.
You
are happy without me.
You
are happy, and so, in my sadness,
I
am happy.
