Oh no, I've burnt supper again-
No time to fix more..he's coming in.
What will he do to me ..what will he say
I don't want to be hit again today.
He marches in a stern look on his face-
Did'nt you clean today..Just look at this place?
Can't you do anything right - how dumb can you be?
I see his fist coming down on me!
The morning sun .so bright the next day-
Me and my shades on - not much to say.
Hiding from the world in my own silent hell-
Hoping my neighbors won't be able to tell!
I carefully clean so that he won't get mad-
I do all I can ...but my heart is so sad.
No courage to leave this marriage of pain-
I hear him come in from the pouring rain.
My heart stops as he walks up to me-
Oh , why can't he just let me be?
The anger in his eyes - I just can't go on-
So tired ....Please , just leave me alone.
I feel blood on my lips as he knocks me down-
My head is spinning round and round.
I can't take this....No more! No more!
I run for the gun ....he runs for the door.
Terror in his eyes....I point the gun-
Now he is too scared to run.
Shots fire out in the dark of the nite-
Another wrong..just made right!
