"Domestic Violence"
  by Phemy


Did I hear Brittney sing 'Hit me baby one more time'?!
Like Amy, I say "No, no, no!"
You've hurt me before and didn't give a dime
Now you're time is up - you must go! go! go!

My Mama didn't raise me for you to slap, punch and cheat
I've put up with your bull.... for long enough
Its time for you to hit the street.

I was blinded by love
Thinking it would be enough
But lately nothing I do or say
Brings your joy my way

You even criticise my performance in bed
Saying I no longer turn you on at all
Yet in the good times you had said
"Baby you're my everything - you are my wonderwall!"

Where did those good times go?
How did we go from a thousand kisses to zero?!

We used to talk way into the night!
While walking through the park we'd held hands real tight.
Remember those strolls along the beach
Warm in anticipation our love making climax would later reach....

Now your hands only cause me pain
As I find myself walking on eggshells
Your eyes - once only warm, at times look insane
Giving off warnings like alarm bells!

After yet another attack you say you are "Sorry"
And sincerely promise never to do it again
My weakened heart wants to believe you and not worry
But history and logic say from this love affair I must refrain

Goodbye and goodluck
I wish you only the best
Its time to erect a new building block
This violent one must FINALLY be laid to rest.

Phemy Williams
