This is a good poem.

I quite liked it, though there are a few details that, to me anyway, seem just a touch off. "further" seems to start a sentence, which means it should be capitalized to be consistent with the rest of the poem (also period on line preceeding). Also, I don't feel it is strong enough in the poem to stand on its own. You might consider attaching it to the beginning of the following line. I think "beat down" should be "beaten down" though I could be wrong--I am no English major. Similarly "dripped in catharsis" seems off to me. Perhaps "dipped in catharsis" or "dripped with catharsis" would seem to make more sense.

Anyway, just my impressions. Nice poem.

Seems like this is touched with a bit of regret or depression; of something missed or longed for. Enough to give the reader pause to think.
