touching the scar in the dark to memorize its new texture before anyone else sees it

The Seam Where Light Stitched You

The house is quiet now, and the only light left is the one you carry in your hand, hovering over the place where you were broken. You touch the scar in the dark, tracing its new texture before the morning demands you hide it again.

It feels different than you expected — not like a wound that refuses to close, but like a seam where the light has already stitched you back together. There is light within a person of light, and it shines even through the places you think are still raw.

You do not need to show this to anyone tonight; the knowing is enough. The darkness has not overcome the thread that holds you.
