Where are you going,
What did I ever do?
Why are you leaving me,
I didn't do anything to you.

I don't deserve this,
I haven't done anything wrong.
We should be able to work this out,
Because we've been together so long.

You cannot do this to me,
I love you a lot.
The love I give you,
Is something that cannot be bought.

If you don't love me anymore,
Then go and leave me behind.
The important thing is,
It's your loss... and not mine.

But is anything I say true?

The poem would have been good standing alone, but the last line really made it shine.  Marvelous job on this one.

Great job here....very sad situation. Hope all gets well.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

i dont meant to critique you too roughly however, i thought it needed some work.

Your poem started out strong in the first two stanzas, but the in the 3rd stanza the rhyming just seemed forced and it lost something.

"a lot" just doesnt feel appropriate after i love you.  then it seems to become indifferent towards the love you just described.

"If you don't love me anymore,
Then go and leave me behind." could be reworded.  it seems a little bit redundant and overly wordy.

"it's your loss not mine" seems to go against the nature of the poem, and seems cliche-ish.
