I tried to be supportive
I tried to act like I didn't care
I told you I was fine
But the feelings were still there
Did you not realize
What you were doing to me
Did love really cloud your vision so much
That my pain was so hard for you to see
You think you deserve him
Despite every plea
That spills from my mouth
It's too bad that he deserves me.
But since when do I get what I deserve?
I deserve the truth, I deserve a fighting chance
But you can't be bothered to give me at least that
Instead you brush me off without sparing a glance.
And now all that surrounds me
Are your secrets and your lies
So let me finish your happy ending like this...
*blackout as the naiive girl dies*

To begin with, isn't it a little presumptuous to ask for the reader to comment on "this as well as" your other work, when you haven't done much commenting yourself? This is a give-and-take community, the best way to get more input is to give it.
As for the poem, I don't think the lack of punctuation helps, there is very little natural flow. You might benefit from trying to say less, and taking more thought as to what you do say. One key thing with poetry is what's not said - a poet doesn't "tell it" to the reader. The poet uses imagery (preferably something coherent, not just a scrambled bunch of images) to evoke what needs to be communicated. Think of evoke like invoke - it's almost as if you have to call up something by means of something else. The less a poem is about you, the better the reader is able to discern your real attributes. What we tell, we have missed the opportunity of truly communicating in a way that is memorable.
