You only saw us as a projection
in a shadow play; featureless, with
no strings attached. But I thought
that you would stay when the real
lights are reflected on our eyes..

so straight away I know this poem is going to be deep and about two people on different ends of the relationship. I love the light being reflected on the eyes, I take this also to represent the hope you had for this thought being true. Nice opening scene.

.. you never did! I awaited for one
more chance; for my kiss of life.

- one more chance, implies that this has been a rocky road from the start. It shows your disappointment at being let down and them not giving you this chance again.

I wished to be the audience for once
not the one behind the scenes because
sometimes you just want to live the
dream of how life can turn out to be..

- This works really well to use a play to describe your situation, here you just wish you were not the one in the drama but merely an observer to it and perhaps you could see a different outcome. I like the wording of " how life CAN turn out to be" it is like you expect it to never be this way because of past lessons and so you think this can only be for others and never yourself?

.. but I knew better, I knew what
lights and shadows failed to see.

- loved this line, it has a very slight dark tone in it and again it can be imagined clearly with the scene you created on a stage.

--

Before you I was always a believer,
I thought love could speak in moments
of silence, until I was served my first
glass of skepticism.

- excellent use of the word skepticism, well done. also this shows your emotion as a person befoer this event happened which is good because it shows how much it has changed your thinking and what you believe in, Like it has shattered your trust in love.

Here I am now -drained- kissing the
shadows of a glass-like love, I guess
this was never mine to drink!

- very sad ending, again summing up the emotion and thoughts in the poem that you do not think you will ever be entitled to a happy ending in love.

Oh but you will be :)
