why did I believe him?
but I did
swallowing every word
he says
catching every look
glimpse:
brief and fleeting
did I know?
anything at all
could I expect?
everything turns out
this way
his way
stepping hard
on my way
he shouldn’t ever
look back
then he could see
my ever changing face
patterns of anger
despair
rays of hatred
trying to reach him
find him
make him remember
pay
but I did
swallowing every word
he says
catching every look

brief and fleeting
did I know?
anything at all

everything turns out
this way
his way
stepping hard
on my way
he shouldn’t ever
look back
then he could see
my ever changing face
patterns of anger
despair
rays of hatred
trying to reach him
find him
make him remember

as, weather through chance or by design, you make the line breaks in pretty much all the right places. 'Patterns of anger' and 'rays of hatred' were good expressions, and I sense strong emotion here, as there always should be in great poetry.
