I wish I could run to you and cry.
You don't have to say anything. You don't have to tell me it's going to be alright. Just be there. Just sit with me and let me cry. Just your presence is enough. I am just so tired. I am tired and hurt and I want everything to end.
But I know I can't. I know I can't and that hurts more.

"i’d undress your mind first"
by Astrum.
i wouldn’t rush you.
i’d start slow —
trace the curve of your thoughts
long before i ever touched your skin.
i’d ask how you sleep when it rains,
what keeps you awake when it’s silent,
and where you ache when no one’s looking.
i’d want to know
the shape of your sigh,
the weight of your dreams,
the taste of your laugh
in the dark.
when you’d trust me enough,
i’d kiss your scars with my words,
bite your insecurities softly
between conversations,
and hold your secrets
like they were silk on my tongue.
and maybe,
if your eyes begged for it,
i’d undress you slow too.
but i promise —
your mind would be bare
long before your body ever was.
If You Were a Poem
By Astrum
If you were a poem,
I would read you in whispers under candlelight,
tracing every syllable like a secret I was never meant to know.
Your laughter would be italicized,
soft and leaning into the edges of midnight.
Your sorrows?
Those would be bold —
unafraid, unapologetically beautiful.
I would fold you into the corners of my journals,
tuck you beneath my breath,
and let no one but the moon know
how deeply I have memorized your lines.
You are the poem I never dared to write,
and yet somehow,
I’ve been reading you all my life.
Whispers Between Pages By Astrum
I have always trusted the quiet of untold stories, the soft ache that lingers between what is written and what is merely felt.
I do not chase endings — I unfold them, slowly, like paper worn thin by longing and hands that know the weight of memory.
Somewhere between ink and skin, I found my truest voice — not to speak louder, but to listen deeper to the words that choose to find me first.
The silence is unbearable.
No words are spoken but everything else is so loud.
I'm sorry if I'm difficult to deal with. I don't know how to deal with myself either.
> come closer, but don’t flinch when you see the places I’ve bled quietly. I am not soft in the way you expect — I am soft like wildfire, like midnight rain that forgets to be gentle. I love like this: with cracked palms, shaking breath, and a heart too heavy to float but too stubborn to drown. if you want me, know this: I won’t promise easy, but I will promise real. raw fingertips. unhidden scars. midnight confessions no one else has ever touched. come closer. and if you stay— I’ll hand you everything I’ve ever buried under my ribs.
