ayo, he got off work and headed home a couple hours early
but stopped to pick up chocolates and flowers cuz his wife would surely
appreciate it, and akwardly, but possibly
would find it rather kind - and accept his last apology
he pulled up in his yard and put the car in park
walked along inside right past the welcome mat and barkin' dog
an empty box of pills and gun on a desk
with somethin' wrote on the computer, this somethin' had said:
"by the time you read this, i'm prolly already gone
so don't get too excited, this is where i rightfully belong
i aint inside the house, so don't go searchin' for me
why would i want my kids to see it, and hurt them even more, please
i took the pills, now i've gone to take a nap
i apologize, so sorry, cuz i'm not gonna make it back
so as you read this, nervous, tensed up in the chair you sit in
do somethin' you aint never done before, and listen
last night when you had beat me, when you hurt my ribs
i decided, there aint nothin' left that's worth to live
i couldn't take it, no longer could i fight the stress
i'm makin' sure that you can't touch me, whether it be life or death
you told me that you cared, said that you'd be there forever
whatever happened to the greatest times we'd share together
but i didn't show it, you just kicked me in the groin
i hadn't wanted sex, but boy, i really didn't have a choice
and that's because, you ain't nothin' but a selfish jerk
so when i scratched your back, it's because i felt the urge
you yelled at me, halfway to the point of climaxing
then fell asleep right afterwards, the condom still inside of me
and then this mornin', i had gotten much suffice
cuz when you ate your breakfast, you knew somethin' wasn't right
but i won't say what i did with your sausage
and when you left, i took your knife, and slid it in my pocket
then i went on to the bank, headed in, and laughed inside
donated all your money to the women who've lived battered lives
i even took out the advances on the credit cards
and left some money for the kids to go to school and to get a job
then i thought about your other women, nice try of concealin' it
i took the knife you used this mornin', then i went and killed the bitch
but yet i made it look like a husband who went mad
cuz i took the condom that you left in me, and shoved it up her ass
i, forgot to mention, remember the embezzelement
the evidence you gave me just to shred and then get rid of quick
well, they're on their way to the state's attourney
maybe now you finally see the fuckin' way you hurt me
wow, what a turn of events
and you were right, i am a bitch, but you'll never hurt me again
so here's a gun, you can either burn in the pits
of hell, or grab the phone, and call the cops, and turn yourself in
regardless, your girlfriends dead, with your prints on that knife
and i'm layin' on your office floor with swollen lips and black eyes
alright, you're fucked, really, but don't regret it you aren't
breakin' our vow, remember we had said 'til death do us part,' right?"
and then the shot rang, followed by a moment of silence
then she emerged, from the closet, all alone and cryin' m she walked to the computer, to delete the message
she had left him, then gave a sigh of releif, the grief has ended
she laid the suicide note down on the floor right by his feet
practiced her lines to play it out, then she dialed police
that was that, and the rest, was basically just history
the story of her life, the nightmare's done, she's lady misery
