"SCALDED" BY LOVE

He taught me how to speak
and that I had a voice
He taught me how to seek
and that I had a choice

He played an active part
in helping me grow up
I wasn't worldly smart
a naiive sort of pup

I went from being child
to a woman with great hopes
I gave my love without reserve
I began to learn the ropes

And though he was essential
to my growing, learning, way
His eyes began to wander
and he began to stray

He kept his secrets hidden
so well, I never knew
Until Four children later
I began to smell the brew

That toxic Foaming lather
right beneath my nose
the women began to call my house
by harem and by drove

He thought I'd never leave him
that my indebtedness would remain
For all he taught and showed me
in a bitter-sweet refrain

I used what he imparted
that I could use my voice
that I could now protect myself
and that I had a choice

And after I had learned more
to chill some and to laugh
I also learned the obvious
and I left his cheating ass
