I Got Flowers Today

I Got Flowers Today


It wasn't my birthday or any other special day.
We had our first argument last night, and he said a
lot of cruel things that really hurt me. I know
that he is sorry and didn't mean the things he said.
Because he sent me flowers today.

I got flowers today.
It wasn't our anniversary or any other special day.
Last night he threw me into the wall and started to
choke me. It seemed like a nightmare. I couldn't
believe it was real. I woke up this morning sore and
bruised all over. I know he must be sorry because he sent me flowers today.

I got flowers today
and it wasn't Mother's day or any other special day.
Last night he beat me up again. It was much worse than
all the other times. If I leave him, what will I do?
How will I take care of my kids? What about money?
I'm afraid of him, yet scared to leave. But I know
he must be sorry. Because he sent me flowers today.

I got flowers today.
Today was a very special day.
It was the day of my funeral. Last night he finally
killed me. He beat me to death.If only I had gathered
enough courage and strength to leave him. I would not of gotten flowers.
