(i) you’re the part of October
I wish I could forget/
(ii) winter takes away a lot from you/
(iii) July felt like sunshine,
trapped in a box/
(iv) I’m not sure I’m an autumn person/
(v) I do not know what I ever saw in anyone but you/
(vi) November is a paradox that I wish I could solve/
(vii) I don’t do very well around chaos or the lack of it/
silence does not help me heal/
words do/
the lack of words does/
(viii) I wish I could leave without actually leaving/
I wish I wasn’t here/
I wish I didn’t have to be/
I do not want to not be/
(ix) November isn’t my favourite month/
(x) you seem like December on a rainy day/
I wish I did not feel like the storm all the time/
I miss you/
and the lack of you/
silence/
(xi) do I really own any of my words?
(xii) sometimes I feel like a stranger to myself/
my words/
your words/
words//
(xiii) I’m confused,
it’s summer on a cold January day/
and I miss the rain/
I wish the weather could heal me.
(xiv) I’m sorry you thought
that sunshine could ever be a person/
or a month/
or a feeling/
I’m sorry everyone has to leave/
on a dark October evening/
when there is nothing but silence/
to close the door behind them/
I’m sorry you have to be/
when they aren’t.
