Words are not inherently bad and
Sentences don't form themselves,
No matter how much people disagree,
There is such a thing as a bad poem.
Without structure or verse or rhyme,
Each line is left to fend for itself,
All the poems on the web with no meaning,
Are only special due to the comments.
Those melancholy poems that orbit
Around a single group of words,
Aren't even worth looking at, especially
All the ones about “love”.
The thing that makes them special,
Are those words. The same, old words.
Dark. Smile. Cutting. Death. Hope. Sadness.
I'm sure you can name a few yourself.
But without meaning, they're truly
Without any worth, other than being a memo.
What makes this poem better than any
Of the other ones? I never said it was.
This is actually one of the worse,
I just wanted to explain why it was bad,
You see, I just wanted to say I love you,
I just cant do it that well because,
I'm just not a good poet.

There is a lot of empty language in the first five stanzas and maybe that is deliberate.
On "this is actually one of the worse," which uses the comparative adjective you might want to substitute the superlative adjective "worst."
I have to say the "punch line" at the end of the poem did make me smile.
