Taylor Petty Poems

There was spark ignited in my backyard.
My neighbor had the same ailment.
She asked me to help her.
Hey, she said please.
...

His laughter played itself over and over again in my mind,
Like a broken record player.
His beautiful brown eyes were engraved in my memory.
His smile danced in my thoughts.
...

I am the only person in the world that lives with a broken heart.
I wake up every morning hoping that I haven't lost a piece.
I carry it around with caution.
Until I find some glue.
...

Crazy, how, on some level, you have to know.
Sh-t, I’m bad at hiding it.
For, I, Sir, am a terrible actress.
Yes, I know, shocked your socks off, right?
...

I’ve been trying to figure out ways to tell you.
I think I’m going to just come out and say it.
It pissed me off when I helped you and you didn’t even say thank you.
That’s all I needed was a f-ing thank you.
...

It felt good to tell you exactly how I feel.
But know that’s it out, I don’t think you took me seriously.
I don’t even think I took me seriously.
The truth is, though I did delet your number, it’s not the first time.
...

You make me so sick.
I am already reconsidering myself.
Should I have, or shouldn’t I have.
The truth is, I don’t really know.
...

So I decided to give you another shot.
You said, “Talk to you later.”
When you said later, did you mean later this year or later today.
Hell, I can’t tell.
...

It’s for the best, it think I should just avoid talking to you.
Did you know I added your number back to my phone?
And for what?
The same bullshit routine, that’s what.
...

I can’t help but wonder, would we be any different had I told you exactly how I felt about you.

Maybe it was all just in my head that you cared about me.
