Thanks for sharing this poem about a feeling of frustration due to insomnia caused by the pain over a lost love. Good job in remaining true to the meter and the scheme. It is definitely painful to find out that one has been wrong about a loved one. We feel foolish, betrayed, assaulted, insulted, and it might cause insomnia. Time will cause the feelings to grow weaker.
But the bitter memory stays for a lifetime. Hopefully we come out of the experience a wiser person. Sometimes it might take several for some persons to learn the lesson. The danger is to become cynical and tag everyone one meets of the same gender as the offender as insincere. That will only serve to reduce your chances of finding the right person.
Looking forward to reading more of your work.
Suggestion
I would try to use enjambment in order to prevent the sentences from always ending at the end of a line.
An end-stopped line is a feature in poetry in which the syntactic unit corresponds in length to the line. Its opposite is enjambment, where the sentence runs on into the next line.
