October

-Aasim

October 

The month of Fall 

Our worlds fell apart 

And I fell, deeper than I ever did 

October 

It took and it gave 

Maybe it took more than it gave 

But who's keeping count? 

October 

An Icarus was born 

But the Sun won't hurt you 

No, only the Sea will 

October 

Nah, I'll save some for May 

Or a mayday 

Which is everyday 

So, I leave with a familiar question: 

Will you come to my funeral? 

Aasim

I never was an artist, and this never was a part of the plan. "October" was written during a tumultuous time, when the seasons were changing and so were the people. The constants became inconsistent and I had to let go of my once forever. But, where I lost a person, I gained a village to fill the void.
