I stand by you and always without fail I seemed to fall
I can never take the lies around me
I feel empty now
I tried and I tried to best the best I could
I never thought it would end
But in the end you just don't change
I loved and I luaghed but in the end your gone
I fell for you and wept for you
I never knew when it was time to quit
I happened to pass you on the street
You passed me by without even a wink
I cried and I lied just to believe you cared
But in the end I never knew you
I thought you were good
And thought you were true
But you were a pasty cover of the true you
The true you is a collage of what I once was

I hope all kinds of feed back will be appreciated...

The individual lines read like a rhyming poem, but they do not seem to rhyme at the appropriate places

for instance,

Quote:
I never knew when it was time to quit
I happened to pass you on the street
You passed me by without even a wink


I would expect quit to wink to rhyme with something

Quote:
I cried and I lied just to believe you cared
But in the end I never knew you


i would expect cared to rhyme with you. perhaps via the use of "never there"

I'm not saying it's bad that you didn't do what I expected, but I have trouble reading it and getting into the flow the way it stands...just something to consider.

all in all, the lines almost seem to be in random order...I think you should try to make the order more logical and progressive

"But you were a pasty cover of the true you
The true you is a collage of what I once was"

this part seems a bit awkward to me with all the you's. maybe it could be changed by saying "the one i knew"

Not to quibble, but TJP may have intended it the way it appears to us. It is a good, albeit depressing, poem.
