I really suck at poetry criticism - to me, I like imagrey, rythem, and the sounds of words. One could debate endlessly on word choice, but I can't suggest changes unless we start talking about the subtexts and meanings of certain words and what they evoke to you and others. The only sugestion I would make id to break up the piece into seperate stanzas beginning with the "oh Lonely" refrain, if nothing else to make it more readable and better call out the repetition as unifies the piece.
My other suggestion would be to write and share more, the more you do the more you'll know what works and what doesn't.
