You'd think I'd learn
my lesson
to stop living in the past
to stop repeating the mistakes
I made back then.
You'd think I'd avoid trouble
not rush right in
and start another lie.
why do I want
what I can never have?
why do I love the ones
who love another?
why do I lie awake at night
thinking about her
wishing she could be
my lover?
how could I have been
so blind?
how could I have not
seen it coming?
I thought it'd be different
this time
but here I am running
off the edge of sanity
without love
I'll never be free

EXCELLENT
A cry from a stricken heart, sincere and genuine, expressed in simple words so admirably. I see no capitalization errors, many modern poets don't start each line with a capital letter. I believe thus they gain in a natural flow of their verse. A superb piece of poetry I enjoyed enormously.

I'd suggest fixing the capitalization errors, but other then that...this is a nice poem. Glad to hear your muse it back. From what I can tell, you seem to be a good poet.
