October Girl

I originally published this on 3 October. I deleted it and re publishing it with a different introduction. This poem is for me whose birthday is on 13 October. This girl spends her birthday alone and has done for years. No presents, no cards or no one rings. I thought someone might read and give a clap or comment more than for any other poem I've written. That would be a great present.
The point I'm trying to make is, often we read a poem, but not know the meaning behind it unless the writer explains. But does the writer always wants to explain?

‘October Girl’ with sad brown eyes.Your tear drops like pearls fall from your eyes.You carry the weight of the world on you.Let me take some of this weight from you.Put them down, they don’t belong to you.I will make it right if I can reach your soul.My heart is broken I cannot mend,Till you smile my October Girl.
