This used to have a different last line but it was too personal to post online. It's still a very emotional poem for me so please don't be too harsh.

I hate myself for telling you
That I’ve missed your smile.
You took it as me asking you
To please stay a while.

But that’s not what I meant.
Your body was not enough for me.
I need to find out where your emotion went,
Because your feelings are gone, as far as I can see.

Always asking me to do something I didn’t want to,
But yet I’d go against what I believed.
I knew that I couldn’t live without you.
And still you caused my heart to be deceived.

You were never enough for my mind,
I read too far into what you said.
I wish you could have been more kind,
But instead you left me hanging by a thread.

You’ll never know what it’s like to feel love’s bind,
Because you are a dead, heartless soul.
Our bodies can now unwind.
All I'll ever want is to again feel whole.

"Always asking me to do something I didn’t want to,

any time anyone asks you to do things you know are not right and go against what you believe in, then they are no good...and they do not care for or respect you. When they start that, that is a good time to run the other way.

very heartfelt writng.

It's a very nice poem, and I understand completely what you are talking about.  However, the second stanza seemed forced.  It didn't flow to well.  

"You were never enough for my mind,
I read too far into what you said.
I wish you could have been more kind,
But instead you left me hanging by a thread."

This is my favorite stanza, don't know why.  Good job overall.
