You Are The Light They Could Not Hold
The house is quiet now, but your mind is replaying the exact tone of a whisper from hours ago. You are dissecting the cadence, wondering what version of you they were afraid of, what part of your presence felt like a threat to their peace.
In the watch of the night, the memory loops, sharp and unyielding. But listen — the light that lives inside you was there before the whisper, and it remains after the silence falls.
It cannot be broken by their fear or dimmed by your replaying of the moment. You are not the shadow they tried to avoid.
You are the light they could not yet hold.
