Before it was you that I loved
Now I’m not to sure of that feeling
Before you would call me at any chance you got
Now it seems you know not what a telephone is
Before you would write me back and front pages full
Now you barely write a paragraph and your done
Before you would rather be with me every second
Now you sit with your friends; tell me why this is
Before I would have given life and limb, probably more
Now I barely believe my heart is yours, let alone my limbs
Before you would have done anything in the world for me
Now you don’t seem to care about me, please tell me why
Before you would have made the world stop moving to see me
Now you sit back and let the world pass you by
Before I seen the error of my ways we were together
Now you sit alone, crying in the dark wondering why I left

Very nice, i might only
Very nice, i might only change "let alone my limbs." I don't think those 4 words are needed, and actually the line feels really complete without them : ) But i do like the "reel" nature of this poem, that it takes on in it's 2 line verses. It progresses to the inevitable result.
oof those last couple lines
oof those last couple lines are COLD - stinging - well done
