You Are the Light That Stumbles
The house is quiet now, but the moment plays on a loop in your mind—the exact second your voice changed and their face fell. You are still awake because you are trying to solve a silence that happened hours ago, wondering if you can ever speak to them again without hearing that drop.
But the darkness has not overcome the light that was in the room before the words, and it is still there now. That light does not depend on your perfect tone or their unbroken expression.
It lives in the gap between you, waiting. You are not defined by the stumble.
You are the light that stumbles, and it remains unbroken.
