I Can Comfort You or End You, Your Choice

It’s funny how people act like those two things are opposites. Comfort and destruction. Softness and sharpness. They think someone can only be one or the other, but I know better. I live in both. I can hold you while you fall apart, whisper you back to sleep when nightmares claw at your mind, remind you that you are not alone in the dark. My arms have been a refuge more times than I can count.

But here’s the catch: that same softness carries an edge. If you betray me, if you treat my care like currency to be exploited, if you cross boundaries I’ve made clear, then that comfort flips. I don’t raise a storm without warning, but when I do, it’s relentless. My words will cut clean. My absence will hollow you out. The same hands that cradled you will be the ones that release you without hesitation.

People think choosing comfort means weakness. No. Comfort is power restrained. It’s choosing to soothe instead of scorch. And when someone makes me choose? When they force me into a corner where the only way to honor myself is to end them? I won’t hesitate.

So yes, I can comfort you or end you. But the decision isn’t mine, it’s yours.

Final Word: My hands can be a cradle or a blade. Pick wisely.
