Why must you keep breaking my heart?
Why do you keep hurting me so?
Do you like seeing me in pain?
Do you enjoy seeing me cry?
Does it make you feel better seeing my tears?
Just tell me you don't want me and get it over with.
My friends all keep asking "What's wrong?"
But I can't tell them its you.
You are what's making me cry all the time.
Even if I did tell them its you, they would all get pissed at the mention of your name.
Why do I love you so?
Why you?
Why me?
Why?
...
...
...
...
...
...
...That's the only question I keep coming back to...
...
...Why?

"But I can't tell them its you." - "its" would be "it's".
"Even if I did them its you," [cut line] - "its" would be "it's".
The repetition of the ellipses, and the last line of "Why?" are not needed. You can do the spacing without the ellipses, and I feel that'd work better.

I like the way that you decided to set this poem up. It makes it intetresting to read something in this format. However, I'm not sure that I'm feeling the ellipses. If you had used them every other line that you skipped instead of on every line it may have been more like a fluid train of thought.

i really like that you are asking all the questions which seems so vainly.
This is a powerful piece and i really like it
i also like the anger in
saying that your friends keep asking you whats wrong but you just cant say taht it is you
VERY nice

Interesting question to ask yourself...I find myself asking this question a lot. It's a great write packed with genuine emotion.
Thank you for entering and good luck!
