Stars Were Falling from My Eyes

Retta Lewis

Three years in,
And his love has conceded nothing—
The stars have fallen from my eyes,
And left me holding ashes.

All the lies are unmasking themselves,
All the pretenses are falling away.
Nothing I had once assumed
Is running with me now.

How many were saved
By knowing the signals,
And how many were lost
By holding on to them?

The time was fraught with hoping,
And with efforts beyond my strength,
I was trying to prop it up.

Desperate moves were made
To realign the pieces
Of every failed attempt.

Three years in,
And the stars were falling from my eyes.
His love—
Conceding nothing—
Had left me holding ashes.
