*Can be from the object's view too. =)

You kneel on the floor
tear's falling from your eyes.
You've learnt to hate me
along with all my lies

Then why do you still love me?
Why are you still here?
When I've broken you,
and still not shed a tear

People say it's plain to see,
People say it's clear.
That if you just run away
I would just disappear.

But nothing's was ever simple,
there's nothing clear to see.
You could never run away,
for you were once so dear to me

You love me but you hate me,
said without me you'd be dead.
But I'd be the death of you,
with all the thing's I've said.

You know this won't make any sense
I might misunderstand.
But still you said,
"Please never leave me,
I hope you understand."

Then why do you still love me? So in the last stanza you state that this person has 'learnt to hate you' so why does he/she still love you? Is this supposed to be ironic? Also, take out the 'then'.
Why are you still here?
When I've broken you,
and still not shed a tear You've not shed a tear even after breaking this person? Try rewording this so it's less confusing. Maybe "After I've broken you, and still I've shed no tear."

People say it's plain to see;
People say it's clear.
That if you just run away
I would just disappear. 'Just' really sounds awkward in this line, maybe because you already used it recently. "Simply", for example, would sound a lot better.

But nothing was ever simple; Uh, 'nothing's' should just be 'nothing.'
there's nothing clear to see.
You could never run away,
for you were once so dear to me. This seemed almost like it had too many syllables..

You love me but you hate me - Or (;)
said 'without me you'd be dead.' Put this in italics or as I leave as I fixed it.
But I'd be the death of you, Shouldn't 'I'd' be changed to "I'll"? Also, there doesn't need to be a comma at the end of this line.
with all the thing's I've said.

You know this won't make any sense;
I might misunderstand. Line is too short as well as the next one.
But still you said,
"Please never leave me,
I hope you understand." Understand what?


Well, this type of poem really isn't my cup of tea, but I hope this review helps anyway!
Have I not commanded thee? Be strong and of good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed, for the lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

I liked it, a lot, however, several things for your notice:

"People say it's plain to see,
People say it's clear.
That if you just run away
I would just disappear."

The just is not only not required, but ruins the weight of your rhyme.

"You love me but you hate me,
said without me you'd be dead.
But I'd be the death of you,
with all the thing's I've said."

A bit unclear, Did the other person said- 'but I'd be the death of you' or is it a statement of the narrator.
also, the metaphors and ideas here are a bit cheesy.

"You know this won't make any sense
I might misunderstand.
But still you said,
"Please never leave me,
I hope you understand."

Using as a rhyme- 'understand' and 'misunderstand' is just lazy.

There are some grammatical errors here and there, and problematic structures as well, but I lack the patience and the grammar to actually point them out and correct them.

Aside from that I liked the poem, it's simple- yet very complex. I can understand the emotions and situation easily, anyone can, but it remains complicated.

You should work a bit on some things, but I think you have the talent, all it needs is a bit of carving.

Waiting for the next poem.
