You said you really liked me
But I know that that's not true
Because if you truly liked me, you would have done the same for me
as I had done for you
I was just so stupid, so stupid and nieve
To think what i thought, believe what i believed
But now I'm done with that chapter
That chapter of my book
'Cause I put my glasses on
And took a closer look
I know now what you stand for
Your secrets and your lies
The deceptive wall you think no one sees
You sit and hide behind
But I could see right through it
And YOU is all i saw
And piece by piece
We took down that wall
But you put it back together
Each time you didn't call
So I'm turning the page now, this is done
We had our laughs
We had our fun
But in the end, I got hurt
So I'm ending this chapter of my book

"I don't think I can make it through one more night. 'Cause how do you answer "What's wrong?" ~ when nothing is right."

What did you think?

What did you believe?

What's your book entitled?

What were his secrets and lies?

As is, your poem seems kind of like a Mad Libs, sort of a fill in the blank. I don't like to supply details, I think that's the writer's job. Your best bet is to think of exactly what you are trying to convey, and specify your poem based on that intent.

Hope I've helped.

The narrator is hurt, feels an injustice has been committed, and leaves someone who has already left.

The wall isn't between the narrator and the object of narration, it's between the reader and the writer here.

Don't write around what happened, write something that makes something happen.
