Hello,
You may mean this in your poem.
I can t find a lover
I can t find a friend
I can t find security
Until the end of my life
No one can comfort me
with promises again
I don t want any
with false masks
to tell me lies.
All I want is someone
believe in faith and loyality.
They don t exist.
All I need is a loyal and faithful friend.
Where can I find him / her ?

I don't think there's a problem with the grammar -- I think it's mostly spelling.

i can find a lover
i can find a friend
i can have security
until the bitter end
anyone can comfort me
with promises again
but i don't want some
pretty face to tell me
pretty lies
all i want is someone
to believe
honesty is such a lonely word
every one is so untrue
honesty is hardly ever heard
but mostly what i need
from you

It's also usual to write a capital letter at the beginning of each line, and of course the word "I" is always spelled with a capital letter -- but in poetry, you're allowed to break some rules. Also, some punctuation might make it easier to read, but again, in poetry you can break the rules.

Being allowed to break the rules in poetry is called "poetic licence".
