"And all they know of hate is that it couldn't beat the love out of me" - One of the most beautiful lines. It pops into my head on occasion and makes me tear up.

I feel like sobbing. This was gorgeous and amazing and so, so, so very true. She poured out her heart and thousands of others and she did it with an elegance that is rarely seen. So thank you, Andrea, for that.

I remember watching you in the Sommer Center of Wells College. My college.... You have written so many words of truth and I thank you for every poem you have written.

When the human fires started across Tunisia and the protests across the middle east, I thought of this poem on a tangent. I couldn't help it, and cried upon memory and cried for the people struggling now.

I cannot breathe through the grief. Today is day 54. 54 days without hearing from him. Nothing. Not a word. He betrayed and abandoned me and replaced me with another. Discarded me like last week's garbage. He was my "best friend". We spoke every day. My heart is in so much pain, it physically hurts. My soul is raped. I cannot breathe. I am drowning. Being buried alive. How could he do this to me? And why?

sometimes, there is nothing more powerful than a poem. sometimes, there are no melodies, no speeches that can say what a poem can. to try and put ionto words what this poem brought out in me would be to cheapen it (unless it too was a poem)

I'm WAY too late but it's a poem from the perspective of a man burned to death for being gay. Andrea imagines what that man would say from heaven.
