Light Untouched by Their Deceit
The house is quiet now, but the noise in your head is deafening. You are replaying every touch, every word, every promise, wondering which ones were real and which were just part of the lie.
It feels like the ground has turned to glass beneath you, and you are afraid to move because you might fall through. But listen — the betrayal of a human heart cannot extinguish the light that lives inside yours.
That light was there before the first lie was spoken, and it is still there now, untouched by their deceit. There is a love that cannot fake, a truth that cannot be buried under someone else's secrets.
You do not have to figure it out tonight. You just have to stay awake long enough to remember that you are still held, even when the hands you trusted let go.
