I got flowers today.
It wasn't my birthday
or any other special day.
We had our first arguement 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 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 that 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 Mothers 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?
What about the 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.
