This is Kaos here for a review!
So I liked the structure of the poem in that it looked pretty, but I also wouldn't mind if you scaled the poem up with more lines but the same shape if you wanted to make the poem longer in a sense or if you wanted to expand, because it does feel a little short at points. It works either way and I'm just throwing that suggestion out there before I jump into anything. We see that the first half or the first stanza is something of a before of what has happened. I didn't really get the feeling of the title from this as it does have Autumn lips.
I would have liked to see more imagery and description of Spring itself but it seems that the before takes place in Autumn or that's when it's being written and then the second stanza is afterwards or the aftermath of Winter hitting. I would have liked to see more sensory details about the actual seasons rather than using things like corruption to display this. Only in the last line do we get to know that Winter has seemingly come. I did want to mention that I liked the title for using "falling out" because that was something that I thought was clever whether you did that on purpose or not. I didn't really get the feeling or tone of the seasons and that's something that I would have liked to see.
We skip over Summer in the poem which is something that I didn't really like because I think that this can also fit as a poem with four stanzas, perhaps one for each season or two for two seasons. It feels rather short and fragmented at the moment and the reader doesn't get to feel the cycle of the seasons as much as they do everything else. I wanted to touch on the wording in some places like the last line or the first stanza or the second to last line of the last stanza and that both could use some reworking for better flow.
I hope I helped and have a great day!
