I got FLOWERS today..

We had our first argument last night,

he said  a lot of cruel
things that really hurt me.

I know he is sorry and he 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 choked 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 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 to leave him I would not have gotten flowers today....
