Free Cee It Was Over Before It Began

IT WAS OVER BEFORE IT BEGAN

I'm certain her favorite colors weren't black and blue
especially when they were in a certain place
he did what all brutish men do
so she found him and took her vows with a demon face to face

the hospital was her second home and/or house
they could have named a wing after this lady's pain
she'd met, fell in love with and lived with a louse
one who didn't mind what damage he could do to her brain

the nurses couldn't have been more kind
they cared for a transient woman without a defense
the whole staff tried to heal her body and mind
but it's difficult to handle a woman who is constantly tense

there were times when I felt like stealing her away
just jump in my car and we two could take flight
but if he caught her she feared what he would do and say
and without a doubt it would lead to a one round fight

one punch and she always went down
the referee didn't even have to get from one to two
his was no ordinary grimace, gritting of teeth or a frown
and that's why she now hates both the colors black and blue
