I’ve always wanted you
As I often still do
Yet you still play me
Like a leaf on a tree
Hanging onto something
that ends up to be nothing
You always treat me kind
When you are in a bind
But as soon as life is Gay
You throw me away
I will be there again
can't learn from where I've been
To only be shot down
And stomped into the ground
All I want is the truth
So I can finnaly have some proof
About my jaded heart
That Cupid hit with his dart
And stuck it close you
Now I only feel blue

I thought this poem was good, especially for a first post. It was quite realistic and the meaning was quite clear.
One thing though:
This line sounds a little awkward and I had to read it again to understand what you meant by 'And stuck it close you'. Close doesn't sound quite right.
But, I loved it =). Keep writing!
nice repitition in opening and closing rhyme
is the second stanza missing 2 lines?
try 'I've' instead of 'I'?
'turns out' sounds pretty out of place
^ this is the stanza i'm talking about
try 'I'll'
line 12 doesn't need I.
try 'Only to be'
lines 15,16 contradict 11,12
try 'on to' or 'on' instead of 'close' - emphasizes the immensity.
last line sounds a bit awkward.
overall, good poem (:
