there used to be a poem about love here

A Poem by UlyssesS
"

Something more experimental, mostly looking for criticisms on this one, it's a bit more rough around the edges than most of the others I post

"
A thousand, billion colors run through my veins
But I'm only showing red
So I'm sorry
if that's the only color you can associate me

But I want you to remember forever
Because I live in a world where I'm left,
writing things that are two sizes too small
So I can try to make it about you
When I have so much to say
But it's only for you

And I'm sorry that I seem selfish
But I only want to please you
And I'm sorry that I can't put these words in my mouth
But It's trapped and numbed in your infatuation

So I'm sorry I'm only me
I'm sorry I'm not awash in the personality of someone much better
So I'm sorry but I think I hate you
I hate you forgetting me when I'm around
Making me a skeleton in your closet
That skeleton that doesn't quite fit you

How could my mouth say this when
You vandalize my brain and leave me with nothing to say
Stabbing at me because
I never rhyme my thoughts

Because I'm too sour or dour
That's because I'm still in your power
Trapped in your tower 
In there with no willpower
Because I'm some kind of wallflower
So I'm trying to scour
Say something with staying power
But the only thing that's going to happen
Is that you're going to devour
Devour this whole wretched half hour
And take me back to the entrapment of your delight

So I'm sorry
I just wanna get closer to dying already
I've been here too long
You left my soul withered
And I have no images for that
Because this isn't poetry
It's just some regrets strung between words
