I don’t want a home.
I want a heartbeat
that beats louder when it feels me near.

It's crazy how giant squids and sperm whales just have like giant kaiju battles down in the deepest depths everyday and it's real
"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.
i didn’t fall for your body — i fell for the way your silence trembled when you trusted me to hear it. i loved you past your skin, past the curve of your lips and the softness of your breath. i loved the cracks in your voice when the world grew too heavy, the storms in your eyes when you were too tired to smile, and the ache in your soul that you tried so hard to hide. Don’t you see? i was not memorizing your body— i was memorizing the map of your hurt. because love, i did not come to touch you like a tourist touches a city— i came to live inside you, the way a poem lives in the chest long after the page is burned. You were not a body to me. you were a home i wanted to return to, over and over, even when the doors were locked. — and baby, i still have the keys.
The silence is unbearable.
No words are spoken but everything else is so loud.
I don’t want a home.
I want a heartbeat
that beats louder when it feels me near.
