My best shot at poetry - tell me what you think

<p>Maybe it’s because I didn’t call,
or you saw me talking to someone in the hall.
Are you jealous? are you mad?
or just scared you’ll lose me for good
We were so close and now we’re so far
like we’re goin’ in circles spinning out of control
Are you jealous? Are you mad?
Or just scared caust it’s gotten so bad?</p>

<p>“There’s just a few things
I think that you should know
Those words at best
Were worse than teenage poetry
Fragment ideas
And too many pronouns
Stop it, come on
You’re not making sense now”</p>
