A lot of comparisons to the theme of the song "Because of You" and I understand the pain that compelled you to write this piece. When I was heartbroken, I used to list down the things I hate about that guy. I do not advocate such but it has helped me in my moving on process. Also, it has sharpened my linguistic skills. Ha. :) I'm glad you turned to poetry to express your heartache instead of other unhealthy stuffs.
This poem resembles my old poems--repetitive in form with basic rhymes. You can further improve this poem by going beyond the literal surface. It takes time but it's worth it. Also, cut redundancies such as "I was never afraid of my future and my tomorrow". You may omit "my future".
I suggest reading your own poems aloud. It will help you to "hear" what doesn't sound right, what's unnecessarily repetitive, what's off.

I like the idea "because of you", i like how you convey because of that person you felt both happiness and sadness...all i can say is that i salute you for loving that person truly..that is true love...because i have also loved someone truly that's why i can feel your emotions..great poem!:)
Emotionally sad and strong, a lot of deep thoughts, but this sentence really stuck in my head, "Because of you I don't want what I have to have." Reminds me of my relationship, when things get rough and upsetting you don't want anything like you want that person, there's nothing that compares to how much you, want, feel and need to have them sometimes. Reallly good Poem, I liked it.
