My only suggestion would be that, given the title, aside from your desperate/hateful reactions to being in love with that person you can also devote more lines to giving the reader an idea what makes you think this person is so evil (what does this person say/do?). You don't need to flesh it out literally, just something that will give us enough of an impression.

Thanks for the read!
Just edited, what do you think? Smile

But when I hear you I can't stop myself,
A smile arrives like an evil toad,
In my throat and cuts my voice box,
I never intended it to be this tempestous,
Leave me alone now so I don't want you more,
There's a good boy, as I fall to the floor,
Don't look back, I'm just fine,
Like there was never a vicious crime,
And in full swing I can rhyme and feel,
All that took place doesn't seem real,
But I'd be better off going to sleep,
There's no secret I've locked so deep,
And I know you hate these mushy tales,
But everything else in my brain simply fails,
You're the one that makes me feel,
The one that makes me ache,
Is that a good enough way
To say I loved you too?

First Poem on this site.
a little work on the enjambment would help with the flow of the poem;

A smile arrives like an evil toad in my throat
and cuts my voice box,

no need for a comma at the end of every line.

all in all i enjoyed the poem, some good lines, i loved these two especially;
There's a good boy, as I fall to the floor,
Don't look back, I'm just fine,


with a really small edit i think you would have a really good poem. thanks for the read LT
I've never really been much cop when it comes to the comma and stop of it all, I can only throw all my emotions into one basket in a way some people cannot. Just asking, have I done it correctly and what do you think of it now?
