Jealousy.

My heart cried out in pain
As I saw her smiling at me
What did she ever hope to gain?
My soul will never be free.

After all, she has me enraptured
I could never break free from these bonds
My love is certainly captured
But everything's incredibly wrong.

She smiles for me, but SMILES for someone else
She talks to me, but TALKS to someone else
She hugs me, but HUGS someone else
She walks with me, but WALKS with someone else

Else is the one she loves.

My soul will never be free.

I like the overall message of the poem, but I think capitalizing the letters was a bit distracting. Even if you had left them lowercase, the message would have still been there.
