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 my 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 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
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 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.
