Betrayal

And so the truth comes out
After months of wondering
You want out
There is no doubt

You asked for commitment
A lifetime together
Who knew
It wasn’t forever

Now you’ve changed
Your mind
Isnt that cute
The point is already mute

Story of my life,
Nothing new
Still can’t get a reason
Out of you

No worries
No need to shout
Just pack your shit
And get the hell out

Review Request (Intensity): 
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
Last few words: 
Sour grapes tonight

Like to start with the pro.
Amazing ending and a great first stanza.
The poem is seem to me like an emotional poem, however, There are some brakes in the lines that just disturb the flow of emotions from poem to the readers heart. Finally, I fell that the fourth stanza seem a little bit odd as it does not provide a smooth transition from the third to the fifth stanza.

It's as if you wanted to write a rhyming poem but your emotions demanded less structure and more emotion. I'm not sure if this is intentional or accidental but isn't that the result you are seeking? lol In keeping with that premise you could abandon quatrains and add emphasis something like this :

Nothing new

Still can’t get a reason
Out of you

No worries
No need to shout

And get the hell

For your input. I will be making revisions to this and another poem during the week.

Keep Writing,
