Loved Completely Despite Your Hidden Rot
The house is quiet now, and the shadows are lengthening against the walls. You lie awake wondering if the person beside you would stay if they truly saw the rot you feel inside.
You fear their love is a mistake, built on what you show them, not what you hide. But there is a love that does not flinch at the darkness.
It walked into the world knowing every hidden thing, and it loved anyway. That same love is the ground beneath you both.
It sees the whole story—the broken parts and the beautiful ones—and it calls you beloved still. You do not have to earn your place in this room by being perfect.
The light knows you completely, and it remains.
