Darkness

I feel the darkness slipping into sadness

I feel the anger standing there

I feel completely desperate and hopless

And you don't even care

You walked into my life

Yet YOU don't appriciate my strife

I feel my life's just passing by

I try to spread my wings and fly

But I can't because your just standing there

With your penatrating stare

You broke my heart in half

Because of you I can't even laugh

You , you said we were through

Your, your love wasn't true

You, You made me feel 

Like none of this was real

I feel the darkness slipping into sadness

I feel the anger standing there 

 I feel completely desperate and hopeless

And you don't even care

Your just standing there

Your use of repetition here is very good and makes the language quite powerful. I feel the tension between the "you" and the "I." I also like the rhymes, and typically I wouldn't, but you do a nice job. Sometimes, it's interesting to find "slant rhymes," those that don't rhyme perfectly, like moon and shone -- these types of rhyme can add a lot of texture to your poems. I wondered what exactly the "you" did to the "I" to create such intense feelings. Maybe try to add some specifics so that the reader can relate to the actions in the verse. Good job!
