Denise. "Sweet Ole Nectar"

I pushed myself out
Assuming that would help out
But it only made him angry
Done with trying to get through to me mentally.
He tried it again, but this time physically.
Right where you can feel it
My gut felt like it had touched the ceiling.
I don't wanna be with you no more
Blood splattered from the cracks of my lips
To the white walls of our apartment
That was one to the jaw
And another to the eye
It swell so fast
Bout as fast as a stopwatch can clock a minute
And then he was finished
While I lay on the cold living room floor
He turned and said
"Then leave bitch."

I lay on that floor for about an hour
Right next to the pot of flowers
My mother had dropped by
I saw it but had forgot to say
You're leaving this bee
Looking at him now
I just let him be
Like he did me
Taking all the sweet nectar from flowers
I really didn't even see fit
But he did
When he had a chance he turned around and looked at me
I didn't know if it was my black eye
Or the tears that I cried
But I think I saw that bee smile

"Leave bitch."

So when I did
I took my flower bee with me
Named him too
