To understand the universe, I turn to science but to understand my place in it, I turn to poetry. - Andrea Gibson

Here, I shall be useless.
The world can go on without me.
Here I shall be held by love.

"Whenever they ask why we stayed together for so long I say, "I don't know. I just know that we cried at the exact same time in every movie. I know we blushed every day for the first two years. I know I always stole the covers and she never woke me up.

What if I don't want the monster
to stop being a monster?

What if that's the only anchor I have left?
What if my sanity depends on being able to point
at a bad thing and say, That is the bad thing.

Haven't I already lost enough time
losing track of who the enemy is?
I've spent half of my life not knowing the difference

between killing myself and fighting back.
