When did it suddenly become cool to hate everything? It's a growing problem, especially in the entertainment world, and no one benefits from an increasingly hard to please, pessimistic audience.

"Désenchantée" - disenchanted in the language of love.
June is a month, not a person. For ~my-dark-desire's creativity contest. Read about it here. Submit something. It's human nature to move on, right? Comments

Critiques
To me, this poem seems to be describing the romantic relationship between a month and you feet. Both of which seem very anthropomorphic. The narrative sounds as though the things you write about belong to themselves rather than a central character.
It's a fairly one sided relationship, your feet love June however June is unkind to your feet. The poem is about the legacy of the relationship from the perspective of hindsight.
The first few paragraphs describes the bed linen. Which seems to be metaphor for how your feet feels about June after the fact. That is full of distaste and negativity.
Even after saying that, your feet still feel for June remembering the good times and remain open, not wishing to hide in shoes as it were. I thinks because June actually felt something in return, even if it didn't feel like it now and that there was no actual visible affection at the time.
I think when the poem start taking about in the second person, the 'your' character. You are using the month/feet relationship as an example to describe the emotions that you are feeling in a relationship with someone else. And that someone else is the June character.
However unlike the effects of June on your feet, the inflictions on you will last a lot longer. And you know how much this hurts and you feel like you have to move on.
"You're but a lifetime past". A distant faded memory of summer and now you must walk onto autumn.

I'm giving you maximum points for vision, it's a totally unique perspective that I never thought of. I'm giving you maximum points for originality for the same reason, I'm also inspired to write my own poem using the exact same themes.
I'm giving you full marks for technique, I'm never quite sure about how to apply this to literature. I think it's a case of choosing the right words to tell the story. You are a skilled poet and don't deserve anything less than the best.
I'm giving you slightly less for Impact because I'm save the full marks for media which makes me feel really emotional once I've finished reading it. I never got that with this. However I'm marking you highly because it did make me think about what was happening and tried apply it to myself and also because there is feeling there, I guess I just haven't had the experience yet to sympathise with it.
