Stop Standing Trial in the Dark
The sun has gone down, and now the screen glows like a small, accusing star in your hand. You are reading your own words again, hunting for the moment you sounded too much, too needy, too wrong.
You trace the sentences like a crime scene, convinced that if you can find the exact spot where you broke, you can fix it. But the light does not ask you to edit yourself.
It sees the father who ran before the apology was finished, and it calls that love. Go home to your own heart and stop standing trial in the dark.
The verdict you are trying to overturn was never issued.
