home ec

she came in layers
a bittersweet cake
sick and sour
an awful taste

i thought i'd try you
so i ate and ate
now i can't get over 
the aftertaste

a glass of milk to wash her down
or swallow a finger to spit her out

an ounce of selfless
a pinch of care
a tablespoon of mercy
throw some love in there

thats all you needed
for a wedding cake
too bad no one taught you
how to bake

true or false:
the only thing you got from this 
was a learning experience?

i am not a class mate
no i don't want a slice of friendship

was the only thing you got from this
just a learning experience?
