The Light That Knows Your Key
The key turns in the lock. It is a sound your body knows better than your own name.
Your heart drops before your mind catches up to the silence that follows. The door opens to an empty room, and the exhale you have been holding all day finally breaks you.
You are waiting for a footstep that will not come tonight. The light does not fill the space they left behind.
It sits with you in the quiet. It knows the weight of the key in your hand.
You are not alone in the emptiness. The light is the presence that remains when the door closes.
