Patience of a Saint (Read Description...please)

(Before I start, I want to say that I'm not trying to offend either of the artists featured here. I love them as artists and their work. This is just going through a situation I have with one of them at the current moment. Need to vent... sorry.)

Let me start with a poem by Cheyenne Raine...

    The Patience of Time

    Carry on,
    you busy soul,
    I know that all you're doing
    is important to you.

    It's perfectly fine. to me,
    that I do not consume
    all your seconds,
    for you belong
    to the sun and moon,
    to your mother and father,
    but, most of all,
    you belong to you.

    So, fill your time
    and, if a letter of mine
    happens to come your way,
    don't rush it's reading,
    for I am patient
    and you have so much more to experience
    before you read my words
    and create a moment for me.

I like this poem for the sake of being patient, and I think it describes the situation I'm having right now. Currently, I have an Art Trade going with xXRainbow-SplatXx. I have done my part for the trade. I sent out the first note to her about the trade on May 17. So, it's been a little more than a month... and she still hasn't sent out her part. I have reminded her about it a few times and she said is working on it... and I've kept quiet. 'Maybe she'll get it done within a few days..' I thought to myself. But... day after day... it doesn't happen. Some time later, I see picture after picture sent... birthdays.... gifts.... other Art Trades, one of them being with WingLightYT. They're all amazing artwork... the only thing is that I'm confused as to why she hasn't posted mine, but I keep waiting.

As the days continue, I feel like I'm getting pushed into the darkness of forgotten things. Am I just getting pushed back for the sake of friends and more popular deviants? Am I just being forgotten? Each time I remind her, it pulls me out slightly, but I just get pushed back into the blackness more and more. My eyes still glow with hope, but it's fading. I start to doubt if she will keep her end of the bargain... I kept my end.... why haven't I seen the other end of the tunnel? Should I remind her again?... No, she'll get it done.... she promised.... Should I just forget about this whole mess and move on?.... As much as I want to, I can't... I want to see her work.... I want to see how she interprets things..... But.... does she see me as a waste of time? Is that why?.... did I do that piece of artwork... for nothing?... 

I'm very sorry for doing it out like this, but I needed to get it off my chest.... like I said, I love her work and what she does. She's a cool person and wonderful with what she does. I just fell like I've been forgotten about.... left behind.

I have the patience of a saint right now when it comes to artwork and Art Trades... because I understand some of them take time and the more popular ones are doing to be busy with others... but all patience has to run out... and mine is starting to with this artist. Please don't send hate to her becasue of this. I only wanted to show this as emotion and how I feel in the current situation.

I have a To-Do List for the very reason of keeping track of what others requested of me. With her, I don't see that, so I don't know how many commissions or Art Trades she has stacked up with others... still... with my end not in the know of when I'm next on the list, it tears me up thinking that maybe she forgot me or whatever phrase you want to place here. I'm not looking for attention. That's not the main goal. I'm only bringing the situation on my end into the light.

I hope you can forgive me, xXRainbow-SplatXx... I'm sorry if I've been annoying or rude in any way about this. I love your art and you as a person and friend. i just wanted you to know what's been happening to me in the absence of the Art Trade after my part got posted. I'm very sorry.... 

This is also a fan art for both of you two if you take the whole "venting" part out of it.

Ok, now for the credits in the picture.
