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.
I got flowers today.
It wasn't our aniversary 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 beleive 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.
Last night he beat me up again.
And it was much worse then 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 and 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 have gotten flowers today.
