All the things you taught me.

You taught me everything
that I know.about
loving a woman. 
You showed me the comfort 
of a womans softness.
where I could float weightless
in velvet starry nights.
You taught me want and desire.
So hot it burned my skin.
you taught me to fall asleep
like spoons so close so safe.
You taught me to 
give all my heart to you.
How to love you unconditionally. 
Without question or 
the need to know why.
You taught me to belong to you
and worship you above all others.
But when you left me
you never taught me 
how to live without you.
Or how to stop my eyes from 
burning with tears
like I am cutting onions
forever and ever
