I have never seen a real autumn But I imagine the leaves Falling one by one All crisply brown, not green Just like my hopes and dreams Even if I try, and tried I did To pick them all up again But more would fall slowly, but surely, down And all my efforts were in vain
As I hold your hand, I can’t help but think This hand had held another with the same tenderness and care Which I thought only we share
As I kiss your lips, I can’t help but think Had those lips kissed another with the same passion and need Which I thought only I could fulfilled
As I tried to hold you Close to me, the way I used to I can’t help but think Someone else had held you the way I do Two hearts beating as one When that heart should have only been mine
So I pulled away when all I ever wanted again was to be close to you so you could relief my pain Now I have nothing to hold on to except the pillow by my side and the broken dreams and the lost hopes And so it seems
Autumn is gone Winter has come I am in a dark, cold place Living in an empty space
How do you show love to someone again who has lives another while with you? This poem is about the hopelessness a woman felt because she could not express her love anymore to her partner because he has strayed before. She is torn between wanting to show love and pulling away.
