Chess Anyone?
By: Soultress & Emcee Universe


"Battered Wife" - Soultress
Our loves union now sealed within this band of gold
But the person that I despised in you has now begun to unfold
Smiles and soft caresses conceal the blackness to my flesh
Weapons of your "love" break me I want to start out fresh
Gentle night's encounters now only found in my memories
No more "I love you's", morning comes with fresh appologies
Bonded by marriage I am confined to life down upon my knees
My mind grows weaker each day I live with loves disease
With the dying of the sun your fist once again brings me pain
But this time I did not shed a tear, this time I did not complain
My heart remained calm, it beat rhythmic with your shallow breath
Without hesitation I took back years of pain, I smiled upon your death




"Confused Husband" - Emcee Universe
Thunder shakes the heart shaped matress that I lay upon
Thinking of what we're in, If we're really a match for life
Leaned over to turn on the light, But the switch was gone
Stood up and walked to bathroom, Slowly I began to cry
Looked into the mirror and stared myself in the eyes
Turned off the light, and sat next to my love
Closed her mouth, which was so cute to see open
Closed my eyes and asked God to watch from above
Kissed her cheek softly, My true love Im sure hopein'
Three months pass sence our beautiful wedding day
And now I noticed a difference in your behavior
I question it, And you told me not to think that way
I show you evadence of your change, Now I need A Savior?
Saying good night, You rush off to bed - leaving the kiction
While I watched the news running past twelve thirty at night
Later on As I put down the tolet seat cause I hate her bitchin'
I noticed the image of my love, Standing Holding a knife
"Are you okay?" I ask as I back towards the door
"I loved You" She responded stabbing herself
Her body hitting the carpetless Floor




"Battered Wife"
Alone now with my lost thoughts mixing this cocktail of insanity
I feel nothing, yet I am overcome with sorrow, do I possess humanity?
My hands long ago cleaned but still I feel the blood won't go away
The love that brought together two perfect souls is now but mere decay
Walking down roads that I fear will never end I long to be released
I hold onto my new hope of freedom, No more battered night at least
I brush the misty tears from my eyes as I inspect my new surroundings
Unfamiliar scenery greets my view, fear has me and my heart is pounding
Lost in a surburban jungle, no where to turn my heart sinks with defeat
Solitude is forced upon me and with lonliness I must now compete
Each breath burns like fire now as I lower to the ground on my knees
My breathing shallows as my own sobs are joined with ones just thru the trees
His shoulders shake gently as his silloutte sits restlessly upon his deck
So with caution I approach, fascinated by the mirror image of this wreck
Standing before him his eyes raise to meet mine and I lay my hand against his face
He cast his eyes down my body as his tears fall harder while he takes my embrace


"Confused Husband"
Never have I seen such hurt, such pain in someone's eyes
Until this woman with a soul burnt, Came into my blury sight
"What's you're story?" She asked, Couldnt believe her half a smile
I could only blink and lower my head, For my head was running miles
"Come with me" She said demanding an answer from me
"She loved me" I responded, Looked up, Clouds far as I could see
Telling her the story of what happened that night
Our eyes stayed together, as her eyes vanished the white
"Oh my God...." She mumbled ever so low in tone
"What's wrong?" I asked, "Nothing.. Just not totally in the Zone"
"I got an idea!" I declaired on that shadow glazed night
I went inside and picked up a brown colored carton
"My wife wouldnt play me" I said, Sitting straight up right
She moved the Horse inna "L" motion, taking my pon....
