These same mistakes

She’s that girl who sits

in the coffee shop

and talks to the man

she loves

like the fool

she is

only to find out

he’s breaking up

with her

like she knew

he would

She goes home and

cries

and asks herself

why

but it was

her the whole

time

like she knew it would be

rinse, and repeat

and there are others

for whom

she’ll do it all

again

and

again

and

again

and again
