    This is very very good. Hell we all make mistakes, some it just takes longer for us to learn from. Don't beat yourself up for it though. Seems to me like you are looking for something, what I don't know. Just take some time and fall in love with you, value, respect, and appreciate you. Then when you are comfortable with you, you can let someone in and let me shine with you. Just take care and be safe. And this has been me before.

    OK, I really hope you are planning to put this to music! I could almost hear the whine of the guitar as someone (like Michelle Branch or Carrie Underwood) sang it. As a song, I think I'd leave it pretty much as is, but I'm going to go ahead and comment on it as "just a poem", too.

    You did very well at telling your story from beginning to (a very sad) end.

    I would try to limit the pronoun usage (she's he's) and, if they do need to be used, try to work them in somewhere other than the beginning of the sentence.

    For example, your first line coul read:
    Seeing him across the room, she can't help but smile.
    --

    Also, your repeated stanza is a bit wordy. You can easily fix that with just a few word changes in the first three lines:

    Just a one-night stand again,
    Too late to start over again.
    Another lost interest tonight,
    (with no one to hold her tonight)

    If you would like more help on this, feel free to PM me.

    This is a very meaningful poem that will probably touch a lot of people from the girls that let this happen to themselves to the guys that do it to them and don't realize the effect it has.

    Great work!

    I think Ann Marie was so very right in her comment ... this could turn out to be a great song.
    You have woven the thoughts and heartbreak feelings of so many women who have walked this path.

    She sees him across the room, can't help but smile.
    She goes over and talks to him...he seems nice.
    They have so much in common, they meet up again,
    Things go too far, now he's gone like the wind...
    ^^^
    When I first read this part I actually finished your second line in my head like this.

    She sees him across the room, can't help but smile.
    She goes over and talks to him... and sits for awhile.
    It just ran together so perfectly ... and made awesome lines for a love song.

    So all you ladies out there
    I want you to all be aware.
    Be careful what you do,
    Or you'll end up like her too.
    Don't make the same mistake,
    Be sure the feelings aren't fake.
    Before it's too late...
    ^^^
    A wonderful message you've woven with your words here. Once done it can never be undone!

    A great read that I hope reaches out to more readers because it does hold such a great message within and between the lines.
    Great read!
