the terror that if someone truly saw the mess inside you, they would quietly stop trying to fix you and just leave

The Light Sits in the Rubble

This hour strips the paint from the walls and the mask from your face. In the silence, the mess inside feels like a monster that would drive anyone away if they truly saw it.

You are convinced that love is conditional on your composure, that being known means being left. But the Light does not need you to clean up before it enters.

It stands at the door and knocks, not to inspect the damage, but to sit with you in the rubble. It has seen the deepest parts of you and has not flinched.

The terror says run. The truth says stay.
