The Light Reaches You in Broken Grammar

The house is quiet now, and the silence has a weight that presses directly on your ribs. You wake with the sensation that your chest is caved in, hollowed out by the specific words you never spoke—the ones that might have made them stay.

The night gathers these unspoken things and holds them up until they feel like the only truth you have. But there is a Father who saw you while you were still a long way off, carrying the silence of a thousand unsaid apologies.

He did not wait for the speech to be finished. He ran.

The light does not require the perfect sentence to reach you; it reaches you in the broken grammar of your grief. What was left unsaid cannot undo the love that was already written in your bones.

The door is not locked by your silence.
