Bittersweet Chronicle

This is a recent piece from my collection unlike the other writings in this account since they were penned down several years ago.

October wind caressed her cheeks
Reminiscence of the year gone by,
The pain that was making her weak
Formed tears on her eyes so shy.

Lingering moments of the past sweet,
Struck her with a yearning now.
Existence so incomplete; yet
Hopes for clarity but she knew not how.

Emotions secrete, left unsaid
He was at war with his own self.
Would turn away but his heart widespread,
The mirror reflection succumbs to himself.

Bittersweet was the tale of the two,
Love so poignant but futile,
Passion they shared couldn't subdue;
Yet the chronicle remained rueful.

Author's Note

Constructive criticism would be appreciated :)

This is a quality write on your part.I have always adored October,and I don't really know why.Maybe,because it has a music of its own with a bittersweet tale of the two...."He was at war with his own self" deserves a special applause.Great writeup!
