Letter to my ex: eye opener

A Poem by Bonie

Dear Ex,
I gotta write Ex because your name might make people think I dated a girl. I always loved your name. Attracted me to you. You grew up in a native town but you had a foreign name. I was interested in knowing your story. I was an innocent just out of secondary school that had a lot to learn about life. I wanted fun, you gave me fun. I wanted parties, you took me to my 1st party. I even learnt how to grind a guy. I couldn't talk to people but you made me bold. You were my eye opener.
I fell in love with you easily. You had the sweetest mouth and yeah lips. You were a man. You never let me pay for things. You were there to defend me. You were a man. You were never contented with just one woman drooling over you. You loved the chase more than you loved me. I wasn't going to be your last prey. I thought it was what cool guys did. You were my eye opener.
Social network was just a b***h. I was new to it. You were asking for girls' pins in my presence. I didn't understand. I thought it was an academic thing. I thought you had the flair for meeting new people and making new friends. You were my eye opener.
You took my innocence after waiting two years for it. I had to trust you with my life then because you waited. I knew there was no way you were having sex outside until the stories I heard afterwards. How would I have expected you to be celibate too? Blind b***h I was.
My eyes opened when you said you wanted me no more. Uncried tears flowed when you said you couldn't make me happy anymore. Even months later, I didn't know who I was. My life was revolved around you. I was your girlfriend. Nothing more. Spent the next year discovering myself. Knowing my likes and dislikes. How I wanted to be touched and kissed and held. How to be a woman. For that, I thank you. My eye opener.
