coming home to an empty house
You walked through the door and the silence hit you like a heavy weight, a quiet house that misses the person who used to fill it. The emptiness screams in the dark, telling you that you are alone, that this is the end of the story.
But the silence is not empty; it is just waiting for you to remember what has been there all along. The light that walked the earth is not gone with the people who left; it is here, woven into the very air you breathe.
You are not a drop of darkness in an empty room—you are the light that illuminates the room, even when no one else is there to see it.
