Twice.

You both told me, twice.
But did I listen? I took no advice.
I should've, but now I'm paying the price.
This, this is my vice.
I've got to learn, to let down my yearn.
I cannot change the stubbornness, nevertheless I still try.
So, goodbye?
This, this is what I wanted to avoid.
Another departure just after our introduction—enough to keep me affixed.
Twice, the same damn mistake.
Am I a fucking fool?
I just want to stop being used like a tool.
Fool me once, and I only hope to learn from the hurt.
But fool me twice?
Let me be concise;
Stop trying to turn me into ice,
I will not conform to it.
I only hope they won't entice me
For the same mistake trice,
Because the next time, I won't be able to be nice.
