Quotes by Shelby Leigh  (?)

“He just can't let her go
it's not the sound of her laugh
or the softness of her skin
that he misses the most
it's the way she loved him
like no one ever has
the way she held him
when he was hurting her
the way she felt his pain
like it was her own
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, It Starts Like This: a collection of poetry

“life’s purpose: there is nothing more powerful than you. you hold the key to the universe and choose not to share what’s behind the door. you are the fuel that powers sleepless nights and the unanswered question on everyone’s mind. maybe one day you will reveal the answer, but i prefer not knowing. i prefer to wonder.”
Shelby Leigh, Changing with the Tides

“if the sun can wake up
every morning and
warm the earth,
so can
i.”
Shelby Leigh, Changing with the Tides

“our foundation is rocky
because we made a home
in each other’s skin.
the damage is beginning
to show.”
K. Y. Robinson, The Chaos of Longing
