Justified Black Eye

She was confused and abused in this life
Emotional and violent moments
Seemed to take the longest time
Every single knockout, dragout
Firght they ever had
Apologies and dignity denied to lie with
SUddenly psychotic eyes
Every night she cried herself to sleep
She didn't recognize
Her own face in the mirror
Black and blue, so afraid
Intimidation
Like a child she hides away
He would always try to justify what wasn't true
Justified black eye
Taken for granted, she sleeps by
The phone waiting for a call
>From him, but it seems he's never coming home
14 beers later he is there without an answer
Once again she questions his
Lies, he goes to bed with
No reply
Tomorrow morning, different story
And he'll be a differenty guy
He'll justify her black eye
With another lie
She packs her bags in great temptation
He's on his knees, again he cries
A hug and a kiss and a don't know why
As a tear drops from her swollen eye
Apologies until tonight and another
Justified black eye
