I break inside every time you make me choose
I don't want to hurt you
I never wanted to hurt you
It was never my intention to build some wall
But I always find myself having to choose between you and him
If I follow you, I'm a good daughter
But I'd be wearing a mask everywhere we go
If I follow my heart, I'm a rebel
I get a disrespectful and ungrateful label
I would continue walking, feeling like I am stabbing you as I go
I never wanted to choose
I just want my decisions respected
I just want to honor the words and plans I've commited
Is it wrong to not bend for you?
Is it wrong for me to follow my decisions?
I am so tired of trying to please you
I can't seem to do enough
Everything I do is a disappointment
That's all I see every time you look at me
From the way you talk to the way you move
You are disappointed that I'm the daughter you have
I'm sorry
If I could just die now so you don't have to worry
If I could just die now so you get to have the daughter you want
I am willing to
Just so you can be happy

you don’t have to demand me — i give myself the moment your eyes soften. when you speak with quiet certainty, it feels like gravity brushing my spine — reminding me that falling is safe when it’s into you. i obey not because i must, but because you make devotion taste like freedom and love feels like breath. say stay and i will curl into your chest like a song that never wants to end. tell me wait and i will sit patiently, because i know the wait ends with your smile. you don’t break me — you hold me until all my sharp edges melt into the shape of us. with you, Obedience is not surrender. it’s coming home. again, and again, and again.

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.
“I am learning to love the sound of my feet walking away from things not meant for me.”

> 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.
“If you come close…”
If you come close,
I won’t ask your name first.
I’ll watch the way your eyes soften
when my voice drops lower.
I’ll let you run your fingers
through the stubble on my jaw,
but only if you understand—
I don’t kiss with lips alone.
I kiss with every unsaid word
I’ve been carrying for years.
I kiss like I’m telling secrets
no one else was patient enough to hear.
So if you come close,
don’t come to play.
Come to be devoured.
Slowly.
Thoroughly.
Like you waited your whole life
for a man who understands silence too.
“why do you have a gap in your resume” idk why is there a gap in your staff. worry about that
