A day faded but not cold
         at the end of summer
a day as if
without the patience to sustain day
and only on an outburst
         or an impetus
         void
of duty, but full of irony
brings light to a day, in the end
         like me
or like my heart
at the end of summer
a heart that's void
         not of impetus
but of seeking, in the end
a heart faded but not cold

Heart faded like Autumn ~ yet not cold.

An interesting metaphor, the heart's feelings as lacking in fire as the autumnal equinox; imparting a sense of uselessness, almost despair.
