I got
flowers today.
It
wasn’t my birthday
or
any 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 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
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.
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.
If
only I had gathered enough courage
and
strength to leave him,
I
would not have gotten flowers today.
