I knew there shouldn’t be another date because I already knew what the next one would cost me. I would have loved her. Completely. Stupidly. Without keeping anything in reserve, and then she would have destroyed me. Completely. Ruthlessly. Maybe she would have tried to love me too. Maybe ...

There are people who leave because love became impossible, and others who leave because your usefulness ran out. Wisdom is learning the difference, but closure is in the moment you stop chasing an explanation from someone whose absence has already given you one. -Samuel Decker Thompson #poetry

You found the empty rooms inside them and filled them with every tenderness you knew, hoping that being loved gently might teach their heart a new language, but in the end, they returned your kindness in the only language they had learned, and somewhere between meeting them and ...

Some people love you like weather, warm when it suits them, cold when it doesn’t, and you spend too many nights wondering what you did to change the season ... #spokenword #poetry

There are people who hold us like water in their hands, careful enough not to spill us, yet never willing to drink deeply. They walk beside us through every season, offering warm smiles, shared silences, and promises wrapped in delicate paper ...

There is no wrong time for love. What the world calls timing is often nothing more than two hearts deciding that forever begins now. -Samuel Decker Thompson

Sometimes, what hurts the most is not that people leave, it is that they forget how many times you found reasons to always stay. -Samuel Decker Thompson #poetry #spokenword

I think we are standing on opposite sides of the same wreckage, both of us exhausted by the ridiculous business of trying to find love amongst people who only seem capable of letting us down, as if that was the assignment handed to them at birth; to catch our attention just long enough to ...

She built a life with him like it would last forever, measured it in years, in routines, in the weight of little hands that would someday trust in hers. She thought that was security. It wasn’t. It was something that could leave. And it did ...

The one who was always meant for you doesn’t hesitate, doesn’t wound you and call it confusion, doesn't leave you twisting in the winds of uncertainty. They stay. They care. It’s that simple, and that rare. -Samuel Decker Thompson #poetry

I haven't learned much in this life, but one thing I do know is they've been lying to you, that pain in your heart won't ever subside, they tell you it'll get better with time, but the truth is It'll just find a better place to hide. -Samuel Decker Thompson

Some men will leave a goddess, other men will stay for a demon. It was never about your beauty, never about perfection, never about the peace you brought into his life, never about how well you cooked, sucked, or fucked. It was always about the man and the character within him, or the lack thereof.

Somebody always leans in harder. That is how it goes. One of you wakes up already thinking of the other, already carrying them like a weight that feels good to hold, like something worth the ache. The other moves easier, answers when they feel like it, keeps their distance just enough, maybe ...

She did not ask him to change, she simply loved him as he stood before her, and in her gentle light something within him shifted, pieces he had carried for years … quiet disappointments … small regrets … they loosened their grip as though they no longer belonged. Her love did not reshape him, it ..

I still expect to find you somewhere in my future, to feel that quiet spark when our eyes first meet. From that moment on, I know I will care about everything you are doing, and everything you will ever do. I'll be fascinated simply watching you move through the world, I want to be there to ...

Hold no harsh judgment for them; people move through the day dodging one calamity after the next, dropping things they never meant to lose, forgetting tasks like leaves slipping off a branch. It is rarely personal, life is often much heavier than they make it appear, so give them grace. But ...

You need not know the ending to begin the story. The pages will turn without your permission, softly, like wind through an open door. There is a quiet grace in not knowing, in trusting what has not yet arrived, in believing that somewhere ahead, regardless of your meticulous planning or ...

Love vs Fear Steadfast love arrives softly, like morning through a half open window, not demanding, only certain of its place. It gathers the scattered pieces of you and holds them without question, as if it has always known the shape you were meant to take. Fear is a small thing, really ...

I don’t want to be tied to it, I don’t want to carry it forward, I realized I'm not scrolling through those memories anymore. I’m done reaching back for something that already let go. I’m done feeding a bond that was built on breaking me. I no longer need to return to what hurt me. I no longer ...

I see your hidden soul, like light beneath deep water, steady and waiting. I see your potential the way dawn sees the horizon before the sun ever rises. Even when you stumble, I know the fall is shaping you, like fire tempers steel, like waves carving cliffs into quiet cathedrals. I know you'll ..
