At first you asked me if I want to be yours,
I answered “I don’t mind.
Now I can see that I was obviously blind.

You wounded my heart,
And tore it apart.
All your words were lies.
I knew there was something not right,
When I looked into your eyes.

You then asked me to come back.
I said, “How can I,
When all you did was lie?”
But then something told me to say yes to you,
And that I did do.

When I said yes, you just pushed me away,
Told me to leave and not to stay.
You said that you don’t love me
And never did,
You told me to let you be.

Now you come to me,
Asking to take you back again.
My answer is no,
Because how will I know,
That you won’t cause me that pain?

The answer is no.
It’s time to let me go.

It’s true what people say,
“You want that which you can’t have.”
So let it be this way!!!

this poem is a little confusing, only because it doesn't really show the emotions of the characters. it shows rather the events which transpired. what was your reaction when he pushed you away? what made you want to say yes? what were his feelings, or rathere, why don't you care about his feelings? i think that could be elaborated on, or maybe the subject or a new poem. i did enjoy the redemption that you received at the end. you said no when he came back. it's powerful and does well for the poem.
there are some spelling errors, but i am not particualrly concerned with them.
good luck.

i like the way that your words sourda made the reader feel the pain you were feeling but i think that more detail maybe not so much a story but focus on the feelings and leave the reader not only reading the poem but feeling it...but great start

I know how you feel...or I guess I should say were feeling. I am going through the same thing right now and I'm seeing how unprepared I was for it. This is a really good poem I'm learning (slowly) that no guy deserves a girl if he treats her like that.
