Question: Is my poem really bad!? Do you think I could be any good!? Can you please tell me how to improve!.!?
I use simple words but here it is:

I used to reach for you when I lost my way
But now that you're gone I have nothing left to say
You destroyed me
You broke my heart
How am I supposed to react
Now that we're apart
You have no idea about the pain I feel
Every single day
It's just too surreal
I fake a smile when all I want to do is scream
My heart out, hoping that it was just a dream
Meeting you was a mistake
But all I do is ache
My heart, my love to you
It was all a mistake!
From the moment I met you
Till the day you left
You really should have seen
Every tear that I have ever wept
I was shattered
Loving you, to me, was the only thing that ever mattered
I thought you were the one
The one I was meant to be with
I should have have known
True love was just a mythWww@QuestionHome@Com

I'm not a great fan of love-lost poems, I'm too old I suppose!.
Having said that I think you have done well here!. There are only one or two places where the reader stumbles, so most of it flows very well!. Considering, too that you have provided a lot of rhymes here you haven't used 'desperate' rhyming just for the sake of it!.
Before you finally say 'okay' to this poem, read it out loud a few times- see, if it says what you want to say, and emphasises what you want emphasising!.
I think you can be proud of thisWww@QuestionHome@Com

hey girl ,,this is so good !!
you are in a good beginning of writing ,soon you will get to a higher level ,,trust me !

if you really wanna improve, read Shakespeare's,Emily Dickinson and others poems( they inspire you and open up your mind ) ,,and just keep on writing , write what is inside your heart, inside your soul ! see the world through a writer's eyes !.!.!.

you know ,writing helped me alot in my life,, see, when you write down your feelings ,you feel much better ! plus ,,,on papers ,,you can write whatever you want, you can laugh,you can cry ,you can curse without getting punished , you can fly without falling !
