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 he is sorry and didn't mean the things he said because he sent me flowers today.

It wasn't our anniversary or any other special day. Last night, he threw me into a 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 was sorry because he sent me flowers today.

It wasn't Mother's Day or any other special day. Last night, he beat me up again. And 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? I'm afraid of him and scared to leave. But I know he must be sorry because he sent me 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 have gotten flowers today.

I let you go tonight with words written
didn't get the chance to say them

With each letter placed upon the page
a single tear dropped and drizzled down

I could hardly see what I was writing
but I felt the pain with each smudge made

They say letting go is the right thing to do
but why does my heart say no dont let go?

Each thought running through my mind
as I carefully choose what was to be said

Saying goodbye has never been easy for me
As I wipe away another tear drop remembering the past

Then I finally realized that something
so beautiful as "love"
never really lasts
