When the pen empties,
it is not an ending but a reckoning.
Ink was never the voice—
only the pause between pulse and truth.
The nib sighs dry,
leaves a white furrow where a river once ran,
a scar the light alone can read.
The page does not accuse.
It listens.
Here, silence gathers weight.
Thought slips its leash,
moves without armor,
seeps into ribs and breath and memory.
Stories confess they were never owned—
they passed through bone and hand
like weather through an open door.
Some shake the pen,
mistaking emptiness for loss,
as if meaning were mechanical.
Others wait,
knowing a vessel drained completely
has given everything it had.
When ink is gone,
what remains is pressure—
the intention behind the mark,
the ache behind the eyes,
the courage to live the next line
instead of writing it.
This is where the human soul stands bare:
not what it made,
but what it becomes when making stops.
Love without testimony.
Truth too large for alphabet.
Silence that hums like a first cave wall,
where a hand once said without words:
I was here. I felt. I mattered.
The pen empties.
The voice does not.
