Ugly Words

There are so many things I wish I could scream at you,
     there are so many ugly words I could use.
And here are a few.
I.
     love.
you.

You build me up just to tear me down,

     The bruises you left on me still remain like my frown. 

There are days where I just want to drown. 

      All because I fell in love with you. 

The you I thought you were. 

       The you that held me so tenderly, 

Was the same you that held me under. 

       There are so many things I wish I could say, 

like how much I loved you and now I cant stand to look upon your face. 

      So much to say, 

yet not enough words to speak. 

     I just want to flee.
