writing a text message to them and deleting it because the words feel like lies or too little, too late

The Light Speaks When You Cannot

The cursor blinks in the dark, waiting for words that feel like lies. You type the truth, then delete it, because nothing you can say is enough to fix what broke.

The silence in the room grows heavy when the screen goes black again. But the light does not depend on your ability to explain yourself.

It shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. Even now, in this quiet failure, the light is already speaking for you.

You do not have to send the message to be held.
