lying perfectly still in bed so your partner doesn't feel you shaking while you silently rehearse an apology you will never say

The Light Waits For No Confession

You lie perfectly still so the person beside you won't feel the trembling running through your bones. In the dark, you rehearse an apology you know you will never speak, letting the words pile up until they choke the silence.

But the light does not wait for your speech to find you. It came from the place where light generates itself, and it lives in you whether you speak or stay silent.

You are not defined by the confession you cannot make. You are defined by the origin you came from.

Drawing from

Gospel of Thomas 50, John 8:10-11
