EVERY OCTOBER
Poem by Charlotte Erasmus-Woodmore
Music by Mykayla Twil Bliss Wannamaker
Every October that rolls around
Is just another reminder of you…
The navy night sky that whispers your name
Is merely a shade of blue
It feels so silly to think of it now
Was the love in your eyes ever true?
Whether two years ago
Or still to this day
I’ve never had even a clue
Aquamarine and deep forest green
Paint a portrait of our fate
With little reminders
And beginnings that bind us
It’s on my mind as of late…
I drown in the Atlantic
And thoughts that are frantic
Have you ever felt this way?
Maybe you’re just too young to care
Is it too much to ask you to stay?
Why am I still lingering… on this burnt out flame?
Should I be the one to take all the blame?
Is it just mother nature inflicting this pain?
I know myself, and I’ll be back here again…
