After thinking about it, I'm also agreed with Markus. However I cannot see any
good reason for avoiding spaces on the line beginnings, do you see any?

You can't brush me under the carpet, you can't hide me under the stairs,
The custodian of your private fears, your leading actor of yesteryear,
Who as you crawled out of the alleys of obscurity, sentenced to rejection
 in the morass of anonymity. You who I directed with a lover's will, you
 who I let hypnotise the lens. You who I let bathe in the spotlights glare.
You who wiped me from your memory like a greasepaint mask, just like a
 greasepaint mask...
