Why do I stop being me,
If it’s me in love why do you see someone else?
A look can stop me, a laugh can make me but silence can kill me,
Mountains of love but lonely and cold.
I want more to be with you
But you are further than ever from me.
An absence is greater with you, it pulls ever more at me,
I do not act myself is that good or bad?
If you fall for this man will you love me?
I cannot see if the truth is worse than the present.
I look in your eyes searching for the answer,
But is the question do you love me or
Do you know I love you?

I like this poem.

Why do I stop being me,

If it’s me in love why do you see someone else?


Punctuation: First line should end in a question mark, second line should have a comma after "love."

An absence is greater with you, it pulls ever more at me,

I do not act myself is that good or bad?


I don't understand the meaning of "An absense is greater with you." And the second line here is a run-on.

If you fall for this man will you love me?

I cannot see if the truth is worse than the present.


I don't understand the context of the first line here. And I think the second one is rather genius.

I look in your eyes searching for the answer,

But is the question do you love me or

Do you know I love you?


I'd put in a comma after "eyes." Is there any way you can set apart the two questions at the end, like with quotation marks? I think that would make this easier to read. Your punctuation is your main problem I think. Good ideas, it just takes some interpretation by the reader because the punctuation is a little off.

Cheers!

This line seemed kind of out of place in my opinion.

Otherwise I liked it alot. It made me feel less lonely reading it because I appear to be going through a similar situation. Keep writing. It's good.

If you can't get out of your comfort zone, you'll never find what you're looking for. Don't make things quick and easy to feel better short term. Make a change and then you'll feel better longer term.
