Entity


Time is a 

soft and gentle mother, 

who puts a steady hand on

the small of your broken back

and whispers, "It's time to

move on, sweetheart,"

and for once, you

can actually listen.

Hi! My name is Elizabeth Davenport, and I'm a college student who loves all things language, no matter what language it is! I'm probably reading, writing, or dancing in the rain right now. I'm a featured poet, Aura, on diesandnoctis.com (go check them out: they're great!), and use the names E.D., Elie Dav, and Elizabeth Davenport when posting my own.
