    Better isn't perfect:

    You make me feel
    better than I ever have before
    And then just a few seconds later
    You stomp me and my feelings to the floor

    You make me see
    how love has me tied up
    When you neglect me for others
    and I just choke words that have been boiling up

    I may not be perfect
    But I'm far passed 'better than you'll ever be'
    When I smile and say no
    Just to turn from the people I've been dying to see

    And now:

    I will make you see
    how it feels to be left alone
    All in hope that the rule apllies:
    You don't know what you have until it's gone

    I may not be perfect
    But I'm far passed 'better than you'll ever be'
    When I smile and say no
    Just to turn from the people I've been dying to see

    I'm dying...

    Dying to let go of you
    Dying to be free of you
    Dying to swallow those feelings for you
    Dying to regain what you forced me to lose

    I will find myself and keep me to myself!

    frankly, it sounded overall sort of cliche. but i like the form of the poem.
    this is my obvious fav :
    I may not be perfect
    But I'm far passed 'better than you'll ever be'
    When I smile and say no
    Just to turn from the people I've been dying to see.

    next time, use extravagance in emotion. i'm not telling i'm great, but i know, with the little story behind this poem, that you can do great. it's a very neat piece and i appreciate it for that.
