You might need an umbrella.

You made a mistake again.
You opened up your mouth.
Taking both sides of a sinking ship.
Like you could save it, with excuses.

Cause its far away from the island.
Where the uniform awaits the morning sight.
To choke you up, from head to toe.
And for the second time in a row.
You've made a mistake again.

Lets get it right. You could quit cry'n an' fight.
Or you could piss it away, cause you don't cry anyways.
And where am I?
Sitting casually in the back room looking cool.
Cause your cut too slim for emotional bullshit.

I made a mistake again.
I let you talk to me familiar.
Now I survive, I get by scarcely.
Like it's the apocalypse again.

But I know, I know. The matter of the fact.
The flaw to your tact. the epitome, reflect.

She's not coming home for your sake.
She's heading up stairs with negative sight.
And where am I?
Sitting casually in the back of the room.
Like I'm readin' a book.
When I'm thinking I could quit cry'n an' fight.
But I piss it away.
Cause I couldn't fight anyways.

So close your eyes and clench your teeth.
Try not to dwell on.
Try not to get mad about it.
You made a mistake again.

Amazing work!

I really like this, I just have a bit of an issue with your use of a period (or question mark) at the end of every line. To me it messes with the flow of your words, and I think if you left those out or exchanged some for commas, colons, or semicolons, it would help the poem achieve a better sense of flow. Great job though, I really enjoyed this piece, especially the last stanza.
