SHE LIED!

Your love is an eclipse of lies where you've drawn
your MOUTH broadly spreads like a fire drone

your integrity is under the moon's surveillance
your heart streams with extravagance

this bricks of your negative attitude
shall set thee up in extreme magnitude

'cause you already dented your image,
now their heart is full of anger and rage!

when will you ever change for the better
and become a woman of pace setter?

time is fleeting, do not wait any more,
desire for self improvement ever more.

l#2: your MOUTH broadly spreads like fire drone (a) fire drone.
#3: your integrity is under moon's surveillance: (the) moon's
this line: when will you ever change for (the) better
I like your title, simple yet elegant. the flow and language usage are good. you need a little help with your articles (words like a, the, an etc.) I really liked the premise on which your poem was built.

Since Cat has...

here first, there is not much for me to do.
She has given you the best advice one could give and makes me feel like
I have been too easy on you. Hopefully, you will take her counsel and
you will have a wonderful poem. Your title is good, the language use is too.
The flow from beginning to end was fairly smooth and taking Cat's advice will make it better. ~ Geez.
