October

Your day of birth tucked deeply in her warm glow
and she weeps for you, mourning a lost spirit
One less leaf to fall. It all seems fair in
context, but I do not approve. I cry often in
late September, when the wind shouts in joy
that Autumn will soon arrive. And I celebrate
your anniversary with grevious pain. My spirit
misses you in ways I cannot describe. It wonders
why it keeps living, when October has stolen it's
source of life. Your quietus is an enigma to me.
Too young of a man. So important to my survival.
I refuse to understand. And I do not approve.
But no matter how much hurt it brings, I will
always love October. She gave me you.
