Aurora Leigh Quotes

I only thought
Of lying quiet there where I was thrown

And dry out from my drowned anatomy
The last sea-salt left in me. ~ Elizabeth Barrett-Browning

it's not the sound of her laugh
or the softness of her skin

and he just wasn't ready
to let all of that go

yet this morning
he opened his eyes
and she was gone ~ Shelby Leigh
