how does my poem about my heartbreak sound?

there is a girl in my life who I talked to and loved, but unfortunately could never have her. So I wrote this trying to express myself.

You were the one who dared take my heart.

You became the thought that began each new day.

You helped me play beautiful music.

You unlocked my imagination.

You taught me better kindness and love.

But you also taught me true sadness and pain.

Because you had my love in your hands,

But someone else's in your arms.

You made my heart take such a wonderful flight,

But too bad it was never ready to crash.

And so it is sad, that there will always be you and me,

But never we.

Update:

sorry I just realize how many times I repeated the word but. I'll try to fix it later

Update 2:

Also repeated the word you. Darn

    Other than the repetition of 'but' I liked it.

    Hey I wanna edit this one! :)

    ""You were the one who took my heart away

    You became the thought that began each new day

    You helped me play the melody form the soul

    You got my imagination restored

    You taught me about love and kindness

    You taught me what's pain, what's sadness..

    You had my heart, with you, my love

    But someone else to hold you and to touch.

    You taught me everything, form joy to pain

    But you could never ever explain

    How to mend my broken heart

    that took a wonderful flight in the start,

    that could no longer fly but crashed

    and on the floor it lies, thrashed.

    Coz there'll always be you and me

    But never WE!""

    Source(s): My brain! And you can use the word "You". It gives a magical effect. Haven't you heard such songs. It's called poetry. :)

    Change the second and fourth 'You' to 'and'. Drop the 'better' and the first and third 'but' (and drop the last 'and') and use 'else is' or something instead of else's. Not bad for sentiment, if a bit maudlin. I prefer the direct approach once used in a record title: "You broke my heart so I busted your jaw."

    It tolls .

    It bleeds

    It sulks

    and finally you admit a defeat.

    Sorry i just realise how bad love can be

    but it also teaches you how to write poetry.

    It reminds me of the birthday card my grandmother sent me last year.
