What My Ex Taught

What my ex had taught Was worse than any disease ever caught, I thought that she loved and did care But, she became a nightmare. She taught me how to hurt and steal And how not to ever help and heal, She taught me how to hold a grudge And how to use and judge. She taught me how to scream and curse And how to mistreat people at their worse, She taught me how to tell a lie While holding a tear in the eye. She taught me how to be ruthless and witty While using drama and pity, She taught me how to take advantage of others While thinking I had no sisters or brothers. She taught me how to deceive And how not in others to ever believe, She taught me how to intimidate And also how to use guilt and hate. She taught me how to borrow and not return And how to put salt on a person's burn, She taught me promises not to keep And those with broken hearts pretend to weep. She taught me all about sexual control And how to destroy the very soul, She taught me all as I had stated above But, never not once, did she taught me love. Randy L. McClave
