The Light Eats With You in Darkness
The sun has gone down, and now the room is quiet enough to hear the echo. It is that specific tone you used—the sharp edge that made them flinch—playing on a loop because you cannot go back to soften it.
You are taking stock of the day, and this is the heaviest thing you are carrying. But listen.
The light does not demand that you fix the past before it stays with you. It stands at the door of this dark hour and knocks, asking only to come in and eat with you.
There is a name the light calls you that is not defined by that moment of failure. The darkness has not overcome it.
The memory may stay, but the love is larger.
