Flowers in my Fall, Sunshine in my Night
Flowers in my fall
 Sunshine in my night
 I believed was what you were
 Until it all went off right
 
 We’re crashing and burning
 Sinking and drowning
 No such thing as friendship between us
 Because you’re pushing me away
 You don’t ever smile anymore
 At least not my way
 
 I’m not asking for love
 Not asking for forgiveness
 To me this is strictly just business
 Don’t leave me tonight and come back to me tomorrow
 Because you're the one leaving me in pain and sorrow
 In guilt and in fault
 Leaving me feeling like a book with no cover
 As if in the future, like a car with no hover
 
 Never said I stopped loving you
 Never said I didn’t care
 But you're losing yourself
 Something to watch, I cannot bear
 So why do you ignore me, if you say you love me?
 Why do you leave me in pain if you say without me you’d go insane?
 Why do you act as if you don’t care if all we ever did was our affection share?
 Why leave me in tears with broken dreams, instead of choosing me and playing on the same teams?
 
 Never said I stopped loving you
 And yes, neither did you
 So then why distict me
 When all I ever did was love you?
 Care for you?
 Want and need you?
 Even desire you?
 
 Yes, I'm feeling sad and blue
 But I'm not blaming it on you
 Because not being able to forget your love is my fault
 My doing or undoing
 Like taking a jump in the Olympics but missing the vault
 I'm slamming face first into the ground with nothing to catch me
 To save me
 To hold me
 To kiss and caress me
 
 How is it possible to still feel such emotions if this relation ship has had no motion?
 No collaboration?
 No expectations?
 Lost all its limitations?
 
 Yet nothing stands in my way
 No wall, border, fence, or gate
 From reaching you
 Touching you
 Feeling you
 Nothing stands in my way
 
 Nothing except you
 Calling me over just to knock me back
 Making me feel like I'm the one holding the lack
 Or the want
 The desire
 That of which is setting my soul on fire
 
 But you're raining on me
 Thunder and all
 Making my days dark and my night hell
 You're a completely different person
 Collaborating yourself into a shell
 Running away from what I know you want to keep
 Because of that heartfelt feeling so deep
 
 But all in all experience is needed
 And for my future I am now seeded
 Ready for what to expect in a man
 A guy
 A boy
 A jerk
 
 That’s what you are
 A jerk
 One with no feeling
 With no ability to be sentimental, kind, or caring
 Worrying not even for yourself or at least trying
 
 You upset me
 You stress me
 But you’ve also empowered me
 You opened my eyes
 And now I thank you
 Because never will I again fall for a fool
 One like you
 With nothing to portray but the fact you're life is over before it even started
 
 You're not a baby
 But you act like one
 You're not an adult
 Yet you want to be treated like one
 Why?
 For what reasons?
 When you don’t act like one
 Think like one
 Maybe even deserve to be one?
 
 Flowers in my fall
 Sunshine in my night
 You lit a fire in my garden
 Now everything’s destroyed
 You placed a cloud above my head
 Now everything is void

Umm, don't mind me? but I though I'd point out to you a bit of constructive criticism? uhhh, a couple of your rhymes sound a bit forced, I know you don't have a rhyme scheme or anything, be maybe you can look into that for future revisions if you feel the need to; and I also think that a few words here and there could be replaced with others or you could rephrase some things, but they're all REALLY minor things. You're an amazing writer, and I can only be jealous and hope that one day, I'll get to where you are. :]
It is evident that you are a true poet <3
