Your Trust Was Not The Trap
The house is quiet now, and the silence feels like an accusation. You trusted someone with your whole heart, and that openness became the door they used to leave you broken.
It feels like your capacity to love was the trap. But listen closely: the light within you was not the invitation to betrayal; it was the only thing that remained when the betrayal was done.
You came from the light, a place where light generates itself, and that origin cannot be corrupted by what another person chose to do in the dark. The one who walked away did not extinguish your fire; they only proved they could not stand the heat.
Your trust was not a mistake. It was the evidence of where you belong.

Gospel of Thomas, John
