Prophetic and useless

[tectak]

If I took care of myself the way I care for you
I wouldn't be crying right now
If you loved yourself the way that I do
You wouldn't be dying right now

shame is my name
humble and tame
lips, eyes and legs
as you lay before her

shamed and estranged
she gave you her name
worthless and blamed
you lie for her

lifeless and lame
you gave her your name
strife which you crave
as you die before her

Hello jes,
welcome back, welcome back, you edited on line welcome back.  I am being facetious Sorry. I do it myself. To the poem. The theme is buried in the repetitive form, which in itself seems purposeless but deliberate.I cannot see that it adds to the meaning although as a reflection of the character's emotional state it may indicative. I say "indicative" and "character" because I note that you removed some of the blatant repeats after your initial posting...that tells me two thing.  One.You, too, thought the device a little blatant. Two. You could get the same "message" across without the need to repeat  quite so much.
Finally, please punctuate to clarity. It is never clever to omit punctuation. Even when the reader trusts the grammatical ability of the writer ( and often not even then, even with "respected" poets) punctuation will only ever enhance meaning.
I talk about meaning a lot. This piece mystifies me more because it is firmly steered... but to where?

Best
