The Light Witnessed You Before You Spoke
The house is quiet now, but the recording in your head is loud. You hear the exact pitch of your voice when you deflected, how smooth the lie sounded, how easily it slipped out.
It plays on a loop, convincing you that the performance was the real thing. But listen closer.
The darkness has not overcome the light. That voice you hate?
It is just noise trying to drown out the silence where the truth lives. You did not fool the light.
It saw you before you spoke, and it stayed. You are not the lie you told.
You are the light that witnessed it, still shining underneath the shame. The night is long, but the dawn is already on its way.
