A black eye,
A runny nose,
A broken lip,
Some loose teeth,
A shattered existence;
The eba was not hot enough,
The meat wasn't so big
The okra soup didn't stretch well enough,
Such utter disrespect,
She talks when I'm talking,
The world is beginning to think that she wears the trousers in the house,
I need to teach her some manners,
She's hurt and broken in more places yet to be known,
He sobers from his rage,
His member needs attention,
He comes bearing gifts of repentance,
She is reluctant with her acceptance,
They get back together.
A black eye,
A runny nose,
A broken lip,
Some loose teeth,
A shattered existence,
The cycle repeats itself again,
And again,
And yet again,
Only this time,
The fight matures into a gun play,
The police finally makes an arrest,
"Why would such a quiet woman murder her husband in cold blood?"
