Autumn
Oh Autumn
Leaves are red and falling down
Without him I drown
He is far away from here
His voice I no longer hear
However part of him is in me
Will you please listen to my plea
Return
Come home
To me
Why didn't you stay
Why did it turn out that way
Why did you go in the rain
Why did you leave me with this pain
Return
Come home
To me
If only you had said it
If only I had known
We would be a prefect fit
But you left me all alone
I want to blaim you
But it's not your fault
You had no clue
You had nothing of sort
Oh Autumn
Leave are red and falling down
It's like you are still present in this town

Your Poem's Voice
Deeply personal loss and longing; autobiographical breakup narrative.
Multiple ideas packed densely: loss, absence, blame, autumn metaphor, acceptance.
Predominantly melancholic and sorrowful; pain, drowning, loneliness throughout.
Urgent repetition of 'Why' and 'Return' drives intensity; moderate kinetic force.
Approximately 28 lines; falls in 16-30 range.
Some metaphor (autumn leaves, drowning) but largely declarative emotional statements.
Pure lyric internal voice; direct address to absent beloved, no narrative distance.
