I stared into the starless sky
but there was nothing left to prove
the fall.

My eyes were seeking in the shadows
a place to rest from toils to be
that never were more than delusions
of self-righteous sacrifice.

I caught a glimpse of what had been;
it made me shiver at the thought
of my own dimness.

And only then I understood
that I was blinded by the light
of your reflection in the water.
I reached my arms to you
and thus again
in love I fell.
