Again, I think you use rhyme really effectively. And the way you write this, I feel pity for the narrator despite her flaws. Her self-loathing (If I can call it that) really shines through and you capture that well. I also think her 'last lie' of 'I will always be here for you' is really sad and a great way to end the poem on such a melancholy image.
