...And for every day you paint the war, take a week and paint the beauty, the color, the shape of the landscape you’re marching towards. Everyone knows what you’re against show them what you’re for.

You panic button collector. You clock of beautiful ticks. You run out the door if you need to. You flock to the front row of your own class. You feather everything until you know you can always, always shake like a leaf on my family tree and know you belong here. You belong here and everything you feel is okay. Everything you feel is okay.

I'm not lookin' for someone who can save me. Life rafts might keep you afloat but they rarely get you anywhere and I've got places I wanna go. So break me in two, peel back my rib cage and cover every page of my heart with love poems you will burn someday.

Andrea Gibson
Image
Love is like sunshine. Sometimes you have to get burned to know you were there. I want to know that I'm here.
Andrea Gibson
Image
Our insanity is not that we see people who aren’t there. It’s that we ignore the ones who are.
Andrea Gibson

We have to create it is the only thing louder than destruction.

To think, a sweater, is made entirely of knots. My stomach could clothe a village.
Andrea Gibson
Image
Do you know they found land mines in woman's souls.
Andrea Gibson
Image
In your arms I forget what the yarn knows of sweaters. I forget how to hold myself together. So if I unfold now like a love letter tell me you'll write back soon. Tell me you'll still come untethered.
Andrea Gibson
Image
If love did not exist, I would be so goddamn sane.

Autumn is the hardest season. The leaves are all falling, and they're falling like they're falling in love with the ground.

Touch me ‘til my ribs become piano keys, ‘til there is sheet music scrolled across the inside of my lungs.
