The Light That Eats in the Dark
The room is quiet now. You said the thing you have been hiding, and the silence that followed feels like a door closing.
You are waiting for the footsteps, the turning away, the end of it. But listen.
In this deepest hour, when the world holds its breath, the light does not run. It stands at the door and knocks — it does not break in, and it does not leave.
The truth you just spoke did not drive the light away; it invited it closer. You are not alone in this silence.
The One who knows everything is still here, eating with you in the dark. The night is long, but it is not the end of the story.
