Just Had About Enough

It is a given that people make mistakes and sometimes it takes a person to make the same mistake to fully learn and comprehend the repercussions. When people make mistakes the first time, often times you try to forgive and be civil by talking it out on the receiving end. People often agree to certain circumstances in order to prevent the same mistake from happening again.

The same mistake occurs for the second time and what do you do? You forgive because other factors come into play, you think "maybe it was an honest mistake", "maybe he/she forgot?"  or "this time it will all be different, she/he will realize." You try to take your mind off of it, you try to get past it in order for the relationship to move on, to grow, to become that much stronger.

Although the mistake occurs and there you are, blaming the person for committing the same mistake...again. Telling them that they should have known better, repeating the same things that you said the last time. You ignore your mind and your soul. The love that you have for that person over powers your instinct. Instead you listen to your heart and there you go again... in the same cycle, trying to forgive and trying to forget because you truly believe that you guys are better than that. That your love will make it through the rain.

However YOU should know better than that. You need to stop being naive and wake the hell up. You are putting yourself through that cycle and you need to stop blaming other people, especially the person for making the same mistake. What ever happened to three strikes you're out? When things happen the first time, you need to take a mental note and take it as a warning of what could possibly happen in the future. The past does not always predict what awaits down the road but it should still be taken into some sort of consideration. The person making the mistake may not be able to admit or wo/man up to their mistakes but as a person, you need to try and be real with yourself by stepping up and accepting your faults. You need to concede your lack of sense for the situation to a certain degree. 

Because how many times will you take them back? How many sleepless nights will the sun witness? How many gallons of tears will you allow to substantiate your worth? YOU choose to put yourself into situations and YOU can choose to take yourself out.

Haven't you had just about enough?

...You had my mind and I let you come back every time. You would violate and cross the line and you knew that I would be the type to always wait so patiently...I done enough lyin' and cryin' to myself. Nothin' left to do but move. What else can I do but leave?...
