The Light Sits Down Beside You
The house is quiet now. The armor is finally on the floor.
And the silence that follows your admission—that you cannot carry this weight alone—feels less like peace and more like abandonment. You are waiting to see if anyone actually shows up.
But listen. There is a knock at the door.
It is not the loud demand of an inspector, but the patient tap of a friend who has been standing there all along. He does not wait for you to clean the room before he enters.
He simply asks to come in and eat with you. The terrifying silence is not empty.
It is the space where the light finally sits down beside you, not to fix the day, but to share the bread of this quiet evening.
