Dirtied Anthem

my eyes close quickly

sharply

as the distilled wind quiets

my aching

wanting

hands.



Do you sleep

as i write this?

Words pouring from pens

full of life and character

abusing the pages

they should never have touched



this dirtied anthem of words

not worthy for your heart

has been caught inside my head

for awhile now.



And it kills me to know

you will probably never read them

or understand

the way i felt when i wrote this

for you

I was randomly surfing through the site when I came across your somber, yet beautiful poems (this one in particular). This poem happen to strike me; yet I wasn't sure if this was about a lost love, a love that you have that you're unsure about, or the death of a loved one. Care to share some insight into your incredible creation?
