Most of the poems I write are, at least to me, very personal. But because most of the feelings I talk about in them are universal, it's not quite as frightening to put them out there for all to see, because I know other people understand what I'm talking about.

Crying For You is one of the most intensely personal poems I've ever written because it deals with a feeling that's totally unique to me. Other people might have had the experience that I had before I wrote the poem, but I know that inside of me, there is a feeling that is completely different than anyone else's, that is completely mine.

I'd prefer not to say who it was that I lost, but I will say that I never even knew them, and yet I still feel the excruciating pain that comes with not having someone around. No one can tell me what this person was like, because either they don't know how to say it, they don't want to say it, or they are just like me, and they really don't know.

It feels as if something has been stolen from me because I never had the chance to understand what this person was like. I never had the opportunity to decide whether I loved them or hated them, (Although I'm sure I would've loved them). It's as if something inside of me is so tainted and wrong because of that. And this is a poem about remembering those feelings.
