I exagerrated a bit on this poem.

Everytime you go away,
my heart can't stand the pain
and I feel as if I'm going insane.
The way she moves,
puts a smile on my face.
She's like an angel with grace.
Whenever she goes away,
I try my best not to cry
but, it's hard to hold back,
all these tears inside.
Baby, please come back home
because, I'm all alone.
Why do you make me cry?
You make me wanna die!
My heart can't stand the pain
because, I'm left out in the rain.
Baby, please come back to me
because, I'm very lonely.
I'm always having a bad day,
everytime you go away.

Nathan,
If your poems are going to rhyme, why not add meter. For instance, the last four lines:
Baby, please come back to me
For I'm alone, adrift at sea
And every single passing day
Is empty since you went away

I think you could do this by adding words where needed and give your poem a smoother flow. I know the feeling , though of loneliness

Maybe an exagggeration Nate, nevertheless, I've been there and could never convince my heart of that.     Hope your days get better soon.
