As autumn leaves fall silently in pain

her tears complete a dark and somber scene,

a sky of slate decides if it will rain

and maybe wash this heartbreak gully clean.

No summer heat evaporates the ache

no golden sun to shine a magic day

the chilling breeze ensures she stays awake

as painful memories come into play.

The misted view means nothing to her eye

no regal rusted carpet on the ground

she watches summer's promise fade and die,

as winter's cold reality is found.

A monochrome to paint this heart's malaise

that fell into the spell of summer days.
