You too my hand,
and grasped my soul.
You held it by the throat,
and wouldn't let go.
My heart sank lower,
as I realized the pain.
You should have told me,
you love was just a game.

This is really good. You have some typos in here, ("too" instead of "took", "you" instead of "your") so next time you want to submit something, you might want to pay attention to that, but otherwise, your writing is very good. This poem reminded me of something I went through last year, it's very relatable. Keep it up. :D
