Je ne veux plus de ton amour,
I lost the fire of your pursuit!
Burned by delusions of grandeur,
My good name, now in disrepute!
I broke the grip of passion’s chain,
Je ne veux plus de ton amour!
My will was spent to end your reign.
Now watch me walking out the door.
I’ve silenced you, my raconteur,
In solitude, I found release.
Je ne veux plus de ton amour,
A temporary, secret peace!
Now, drink the final parting glass,
I swear to love you nevermore!
Return to your own social class!
Je ne veux plus de ton amour!
Je ne veux plus de ton amour,
I lost the fire of your pursuit!
Burned by delusions of grandeur,
My good name, now in disrepute!
I broke the grip of passion’s chain,
Je ne veux plus de ton amour!
My will was spent to end your reign.
Now watch me walking out the door.
I’ve silenced you, my raconteur,
In solitude, I found release.
Je ne veux plus de ton amour,
A temporary, secret peace!
Now, drink the final parting glass,
I swear to love you nevermore!
Return to your own social class!
Je ne veux plus de ton amour!

I like this a lot!
And only because you ask for honest critique, if you permit a bit of French tuning, I think you want :
Je ne veux plus de ton amour
Which translates to ‘I don’t want your love anymore’ or ‘i no longer want your love’ in quite a more beautiful way
‘Je ne voulais plus ton amour’ makes for a strange, passive tense, translating to ‘I didnt want your love anymore’ or ‘I no longer wanted your love’.
Didn’t stop me from enjoying it completely! :)

The poem came up in the featured poems section ... there's a lot to admire. A quatrain in iambic tetrameter with an abab rhyme scheme in each stanza. Best of all ... not one syllable out of place. Currently there's a war being fought between my admiration and envy ...
