The Light Knows Your Silent Heart

The house is quiet now, but your chest is still loud with the words you swallowed. You rehearsed the apology perfectly in the steam, found the exact rhythm of regret, yet when the moment arrived, your throat closed like a fist.

You are carrying the weight of a speech that was never spoken. But listen — the light does not require your eloquence to reach you.

It saw the silence and knew exactly what you meant. In the deep watch of this night, you do not need to perform the perfect contrition to be held.

The one who knows your heart is greater than your heart's condemnation. The words you failed to say are already known.

The love that holds you does not wait for your speech to begin.
