Crossword Puzzling

Sometimes words make me so crazy 

but then that is what you do to me 

every time I think we are doing fine

you start playing with my mind,

like words that cut deep into my heart 

to make me bleed 

you're so mean 

your words are on my mind 

most of the time,

like I am playing a game

of crossword puzzle 

you mix my feeling all over the place 

my poor heart is all jumbled up 

you get me lost in a storm of words 

that makes things confusing.
