Last Resort

I told you I wanted
To be your friend,
But the bald truth was
I couldn't bear to see us end.
I told you lies
That I approved
Of the sordid place
To which we moved.
I desired to be your number one,
But I am stripped bare,
And it's obvious we're done.

Now the truth is clear,
That I loathe the one person
Whom I thought I held so dear.
And even as I stare at this wall and cry,
I cannot convince my love to die.
And when I wish to only hate,
I know loving you is my fate.

So seek your perfection,
May she make you happier than I could.
You can never change,
And for me, you never would.
I cannot look at you without regret,
I can't let go and I can't forget.
Your gaze says it's me and you,
But I know days to come are mine to rue.

Your indifferent embrace is plain to see.
There's nothing in your heart
For you and me.
You are the enemy with whom
I choose to consort,
But I've lingered too long;
I cannot be your last resort.

Your indifferent embrace is plain to see.
There's nothing in your heart
For you and me.
You are the enemy with whom
I choose to consort,
But I've lingered too long;
I cannot be your last resort.

I love that strong ending. It is a hard place when there is love in the heart for another whether it be yourself or your mate. You really pulled this poem off nicely. No mistaking this torn remorse. Kudos

The poem is structured very well. It is flawless, and very easy to read. I don't understand why you have used full stops in your poem but I am not an expert in that department as you probably have figured it out yourself by now.

E.g. There's nothing in your heart
For you and me.

If its one sentence as the full stop at the end indicates you should write "For" "for" I think but again I am not sure.
The poem definitely serves its purpose but I find the whole concept a bit of Clich�. However that's only my personal taste.
Overall Very well done ;)
