Here's version 2 of the poem, hopefully it's improved some. Any further suggestions are still very much welcome 
You are
a singer of polished lies,
with words flowing like a breeze.
You create glass promises,
that
\
break
/
with
\
a
/
single
\
breath.

Quote:I'm fairly new to poetry, so I apologize if this poem is an extreme mess. I'm intent on improving as much as I can. I think I may have used excessive line breaks, but I'm not sure which ones to remove...
You are
the ghost in my head,
who whispers words I wish had gone unsaid,
You are
the singer of beautiful lies,
who creates glass promises
as delicate
as gossamer,
glass
/
that
\
broke
/
with
\
a
/
single
\
breath.
You said
that you were selfish,
I dismissed the notion,
it was a nonexistent blemish
in my mind.
If only I had listened then,
but I had been hopeless
in my love-tinted vision,
and thought of you as divine.
You say that I am what happiness means to you
maybe that was true,
more days than I care to count ago.
But clearly, that meaning wasn’t enough
for
you.
