I had to read this a few times, but it's relatable. I like the somber vibe it gives off.
Just a few things...
Just a few things...

We sit together on a log
Looking across the reservoir
Admiring the autumn colors
Layered under the blue sky --- This is a bit fluffy... Takes away from what you're trying to convey
Yellow, orange, brown and evergreen
Cast reflections serene
A quiet breeze sets the tone
for what would be our last afternoon
You’re more quiet than usual - I would put a comma here? Maybe
While I get up to search for bones
Fisherman in their boat
Don’t pay us any note
A crow calls out overhead
His fortuitous cry piercing the silence
What was it you were thinking?
I now know with regret
I wish we had sat and held hands
and confessed our hearts’ discontent
Perhaps we could have saved ourselves from anguish
Perhaps we could have saved what was left - "what was left".. I really like the way it sounds with "Hearts' discontent"
For that quiet afternoon this past October
was our last meeting as lovers
