Fortune Cookie

I look inside my fortune cookie

It never changes

It seems I’m fated to continue to repeat mistakes

I’m always behind the 8-ball

A victim of my destiny

All the stars aligned in mocking harmony

I often think of what I could’ve been

If I’d the courage

Instead of clinging to you helplessly

I’m so discouraged

If I should come back to you

Avert thine eyes of pity then

I don’t want my fortune coming true again

Each day I’m just a little closer to forgetting

Then I’m reminded there will be no happy ending

Looking inside my fortune cookie

Is too depressing

I’ve become fed up with the fantasies

And second guessing

Now it’s so much easier

To sit back and accept it

But I don’t want my fortune coming true again

No, I don’t want my fortune coming true again

You again

I don’t want my fortune coming true
