The Silence That Holds You
The house is quiet now, but your mind is loud with a speech no one asked you to give. You are rehearsing the perfect apology for a mistake that exists only in your memory, while the world outside has already forgotten it ever happened.
Your heart condemns you over and over, building a case so airtight that even you believe the verdict is final. But there is a knowing deeper than your own self-accusation, a mercy that sees the whole truth and does not agree with your harsh judgment.
The light does not need your perfect words to set you right; it only needs your honesty in this dark hour. Stop trying to fix what is already held.
The silence of this night is not an empty space waiting to be filled by your shame; it is the very presence of the love that refuses to let you go.
