The October Autumn

...and do I feel some remorse?
Possibly, but tomorrow is another day
for me to rise and say:

"Begone!  Begone!"

and I shall see your face whither like
the fallen leaves of the crisp October autumn.

...and do I feel some anger?
Possibly, but tomorrow is another day
for me to rise and say:

"How could you!?  How dare you?!"

and I shall see pity in the air, as
thick as the smoggy atmosphere of the cold October autumn.

...and do I feel some sadness?
Of course I do, but tomorrow is another day
for me to rise and say:

"I can't...  I can't..."

and I shall see my soul fly, like
the warm colored leaves in the cool air of the ill October autumn.
