The Light Sees Your Unspoken Pain
The house is quiet now, but your mind is loud with the things you never said. You are awake because you realize they never asked how they hurt you.
They don't know the wound exists. They are sleeping peacefully while you carry the weight of their ignorance.
It feels like abandonment. It feels like your pain is invisible because it was never acknowledged.
But the light does not wait for an apology to see you. It sees the silence.
It sees the part of you that is bleeding in the dark, unseen by the people who love you. The truth that lives in you knows exactly what happened, even if they do not.
You are not alone in this room. The light is sitting right beside you, holding the space where their words should have been.
It does not need them to validate your hurt. It already knows.
Your pain is not less real because they are unaware. It is held.
The silence of the night is not empty. It is full of the One who sees what no one else sees.
