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.
