Don'T Look Back

You have enough nerve showing up here today Cause the only thing you want from me is my love But all your going to get is hatred After all these years that have gone by And after all you put me through There's no chance I'd take you back in my life Cause I believe I've been through enough Your lying and cheating was about to kill me But you've done a whole lot worse than that And I got the scars to prove it All I can say to you now is Leave the past behind And head on down the road And don't ever look back.

There's certainly some power in this poem. Nice use of line breaks and form. It's as though the person you are speaking to changes for the last stanza - or the speaker changes? was this intentional? A few grammar suggestions - saying "cause" for "because" is fine for dialect - but write it as " 'cause". The first "your" should be "You're"... Keep writing! I'd like to see more.
