The Light Holds Your Silent Tears
The house is quiet now, and the armor you wore all day finally hits the floor. You lie perfectly still, rehearsing a conversation that will never happen, saying the words you swallowed so no one would hear you cry.
The light does not ask you to speak them out loud. It does not demand you fix the past or confront the ghost sitting in the corner of your room.
It simply waits in the silence with you. The truth that lives inside you has heard every word you whispered to the ceiling.
It knows the ache before you name it. You are not alone in this exhale.
The light is the space where your tears fall, and it is already holding them.
