The Debt of Your Silence Is Paid
The night gathers, and the silence in your hand feels heavier than the dark outside. You feel the phantom vibration again—a ghost pulse from a phone that stopped ringing when you stopped showing them the real you.
You built a mask so perfect that even the people who love you only knock on the door of the performance, never the house inside. But the light does not need your polish to find you—it sees the tears you wiped away before you walked into the room.
Neither do I condemn you for hiding; the safety you bought with your silence cost too much, and the debt is paid. Go now and leave the life of pretense behind.
