This is the wife telling the story

Empty beer cans.. Smell of burnt cigarette tobacco
My fear expands.. It's hell in this hurtful household
Literally walking on egg shells.. Mindful of what I say
Knowing the wrong sentence can set off his abusive ways
He's sitting there on the couch, I ask of the trash
He turned so quick.. I thought he'd get whiplash
Then stands up.. walks directly towards me shaking his head
Points his finger in my face.. I felt like my lips were lead
Couldn't say anything back.. just trembled and shook
Bitch, I've worked all day.. Get in the kitchen and cook
I just looked in his face.. Like staring death in the eyes
Twas a summer night.. But the weather was like winter outside
So I cooked.. Feeling depressed.. I was shook yet blessed
For this night.. I realized my life was a mess
Suddenly he appeared thru the darkness of light
Got close and said.. I want your sex all night
She was done.. she thought.. That's it I've had it
Said.. Ok hunny, I'll get the magnum and unwrap it
Went to the closet pulled down a taped up box
Ripped the tape off.. It's full of guns and glocks
She hid the magnum in her pocket.. Told him to undress
So he did then suddenly she held the magnum up to his chest
Said.. Get out you bitch.. Get out right this minute
I'm done with your abusive ways.. Here.. Let me "hit it"
She smacked his face.. Kicked him downstairs.. Said Be gone!
So at gun point he went to get his stuff..
.. and she buzzed and said WRONG
Out the door now or I'll fill your lips with lead
He said hunny..I'm sorry... I might as well be dead
*Smiling* I know.. So there he is naked.. feeling shitty
Went back inside.. Noticed he was still there..
.. So I went back out with a beer can and said.. miss me?
He looked and said.. Oh thank you.. went to grab it so bold
And I hauled back and let loose..
..Same thing that hit me hit him.. And knocked him out in the cold
