What Do You Get If You Combine a Lunatic With a Liar

WHAT DO YOU GET WHEN YOU CROSS A LUNATIC WITH A LIAR An un-truth trapped me, I loved a liar But I refuse any more sleepless nights She held my feet to the fire After all the arguments, disputes and fights There was no morning coffee, only screaming Yelling that yellowed the white paint on the ceiling The only happiness was when I was dreaming And wasn’t birthed to be with someone without feeling She never touched me when I needed tenderness and care Yet when she needed an embrace she called me forth She knew how to take but not give and that’s not fair But we were as separated as south is to north I tried to tell you life with me wouldn’t be a picnic But there would be a mound of ants I tried to tell you what it would like living with a lunatic She was gorgeous but beauty only the grievous grants Tonight I don’t care who’s she’s with or where she is She could be in heaven’s heart or with the the man of her dreams If I saw her and then met her lover of late I’d say she’s all his Because I’m living in tranquility with no more early morning screaming © 2011.…..Phreeoetree

I especially love your 2nd stanza. It's very powerful. And how you answered the question in your title, in the poem. Very clever free cee.
