(This was meant to be read from bottom to top, and then top to bottom. There are two more sentences with bold and italic for you to find keke. Sorry this is my first poem so I really, really need some constructive criticism) 

I love you

To the bitter end, 

I yearn for you

Wanting you

And yet

Like the Moon

manipulating the tides

Like the farmer

slaughtering his pigs

Like the insects

driving holes in trees

You tear and tug at my heart

You play me for a fool

I am at a loss when

You brandish your words like a weapon

Venom dripping from within

Waiting for it to seep into my bones

You words drive me crazy

Crazy? 

Am I

For leaving, 

Your display of affection

Haunts me;

I am in shreds because it still

Was your love, 

That I always

Was In your head

Notice me say the thought that

You didn't even

hurt when

Never

missing me crossed your mind

Saying that

didn't feel like you, and

It

Reminded me of home

I was a fool for

Telling myself that the person

Never

Wronged me;

You

Lied to me

You pretended, 

To love me so

I hate you

Hey, it's Serrurie, here to leave a review! Let's dive in:

The Good Stuff
-I like how this can be read in either direction; it's something hard to accomplish, and you performed that well!
- The contrasting lines at the beginning and end is very interesting :D
- You're pretty good at figurative language


Room For Improvement
- This was a pretty good poem, but I think the emotions conveyed backward and forwards could be explored more. I just think there could be more contrast between backward and forwards, but that's it!

Overall Opinion
- This was a unique poem, and for your first poem, it was pretty amazing. Keep up the good work, and have a blessed day!

Great poem written by the author (as this is your first poem its really nice).

"You tear and tug at my heart
You play me for a fool."
Well when you are in love, every moment you spend with your loved one feels like a dream. Love involves many things like affection, care, 'trust' (a very important one).
But when suddenly things go wrong, you start having fights and at last you decide to breakup. After breakup everything you do reminds you of all those sweet memories and all the precious time you both spent with each other (and it gets hard to forget him/her).

The poem conveys the message. You could just improve the rhyming a bit (its just a suggestion).

Keep it up.
Waiting for more.
Thank you.
