“Lately I’ve been thinking about who I want to love, and how I want to love, and why I want to love the way I want to love, and what I need to learn to love that way, and who I need to become to become the kind of love I want to be…….and when I break it all down, when I whittle it into a single breath, it essentially comes out like this: Before I die, I want to be somebody’s favorite hiding place, the place they can put everything they know they need to survive, every secret, every solitude, every nervous prayer, and be absolutely certain I will keep it safe. I will keep it safe.”

“I’m never gonna wait
that extra twenty minutes
to text you back,
and I’m never gonna play
hard to get
when I know your life
has been hard enough already.
When we all know everyone’s life
has been hard enough already
it’s hard to watch
the game we make of love,
like everyone’s playing checkers
with their scars,
saying checkmate
whenever they get out
without a broken heart.”
— Andrea Gibson, Royal Heart

“Don’t google your name. Ever.
Don’t ‘search’ for yourself
on anything that glows in the dark.
Don’t let your beauty
be something anyone can turn off.
Don’t edit your ugly out of your bio.
Let your light come from the fire.
Let your pain be the spark,
but not the timber.
Remember, you didn’t come here
to write your heart out.
You came to write it in.”
— Andrea Gibson, Slam Poetry

“She might be your type.
But I'm the exact font.

I am outside your window.
Throw down your hair.

I mean the hair you pulled from the drain
when you were cleaning your tub.

I want everything you have ever tried to wash away.

The first time you were bullied in junior high.
The last time you blushed from a compliment.
Every fever that hasn't yet broken. It's true,
I have never made a love potion that hasn't blown up,
but your mouth is the sexiest beaker.

Bend me over your periodic table
then try to tell me we don't have chemistry.”
— Andrea Gibson, Pansy
