Autumn Is For Lovers

This waiting grows so weary
The pain does get better every day,
My eyes are not as teary
But, the emptiness won't go away!

Music drowns the void
Where your voice hung like heather,
But then, I must avoid
Those songs we danced together.

Walks ease the mourning
Like, leaving bad thoughts behind.
But only in early morning
Before the couples walk entwined.

I walk through the year
In the summer, winter, and spring,
But never in autumn, I fear
My heart can't take somethings.

I must never think of autumn!
Not since our last adieu.
For, if I ever thought of autumn
It would break my heart in two!

For, autumn is for lovers
And is also when we met,
A time for enjoying another
And, not for love's regret.

Spring is past encroaching
The summer has gone, and then...
Winter is fast approaching
That dead season my life begins.
