Love the idea. It definitely needs punctuation. Some lines end sentences and other lines don't so it's a bit confusing pacing wise. other than that though I liked it.

I really like the message of the poem.  I think some punctuation would help a lot.  I like the line "Condescending love is friendship" and it seems to be a deep line, but it seems kind of added onto the end.

I like this, the depth of it.  But I can't help but feel there is something incomplete about it.  Like perhaps there might have been something just before the last line to make it not seem as abrupt.  I really enjoyed it though.

I'm on the fence with the punctuation. The style at the moment is a little inconsistent. Some lines stand by themselves as statements (line 1 and line 3, for example) whilst others run into each other (lines 4+5, 6+7). This isn't helped by the lack of punctuation and whilst it might favour itself to be heard aloud by the author, it's a difficult read. 

That said, punctuation isn't always vital. If you shifted the words so each line could stand by itself, that'd give a better indication of when to break or pause when reading. For example:

> People often misunderstand

> Like we are more than what it seems

> Affectionate yet misleading

> Too complicated 

> Because it's mostly a one-sided affair
    
> Never will you know how I truly feel
    
> Condescending love is friendship

I hope that makes some sense? 

To add, I would perhaps find a way of adding some sort of context. There's something of a personal theme / reference at the end, but like /u/noebodyknows said, it feels like it

        People often misunderstand
        Like we are more than what it seems
        Affectionate yet misleading
        Too complicated because it's mostly a
        One-sided affair
        Never will you know how
        I truly feel
        Condescending love is friendship
