“Afraid to Love

I turn away
and close my heart—
to the promise of love
that is luring.

For the past has taught
to not be caught,
in what is not
worth pursuing—

To never do
the things I've done
that once had led
to my undoing.”
― Lang Leav, Love & Misadventure

“We may be just two different clocks, that do not tock in unison.”
― Lang Leav, Love & Misadventure

“Time

You were the one
I wanted most
to stay.

But time could not
be kept at bay.

The more it goes,
the more it's gone—
the more it takes away.”
― Lang Leav, Lullabies

“. . . in the storm of emotions, we can create a small, peaceful sanctuary within.”
― Mary Morrissey
