Mistakes

we all make mistakes.
sometimes over and over.
we have a pattern.
she was part of it.
a moth to the flames,
i was.
tricked, duped,
coerced and lied to
time and time again.
it's a weakness in me
to tolerate evil,
to accept bad behavior,
hoping for a change,
praying that the good
in a person will prevail.
but there is no good
in her. zero empathy.
zero compassion.
she's a fraud through
and through. god help
her and her next victim
too.
