By RAHN ADAMS

So many questions. / Only one answer. / He was a player. / She was a dancer.
He gave her money — / the start of the deal. / She took his surname / and made it for real.
She gave him a son / so he wouldn’t roam. / He smacked her around / and took off from home.
He went to Vegas, / to gamble and whore. / When she took him back, / he beat her some more.
But she wouldn’t leave, / and we know her fate. / How far is too far? / By then it’s too late.
