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.
