great first post, that said as a poem it needs a fair bit of working on.
some pointer's:
think twice before starting sentences with But
while the first line would have made a good title, it starts off with a common phrase, [cliche]; steer clear of cliches.
in general don't take 10 words to say 4 or 5
this
But I was the one who was wrong to begin with
to this
i was wrong
but both read as weak lines.
pare away or edit anything that feels run of the mill. make it as original as you can.
and don't be disheartened by the feedback, it's mostly there to help.

You tell her how you feel, but to me you're always fine
For a while I could not accept your denial of my importance in your life
But I was the one who was wrong to begin with
I believed there was something between us
Something that I've only ever caught a glimpse of
And I had hope for us
I had hoped we would grow, together as people
Wrong was I, wrong was I
Not that you are not fit for me
But I am not fit for you
Only because I am not fit for anyone
As a heart that's never been whole can never truly love
But I do not feel sad to see you with anyone else
I do not feel sad
I do not feel anything at all
I am empty
