~I Got Flowers Today~

Although sad, this is posted as inspiration (and a nudge) for anybody experiencing abuse.

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 woke up this morning sore and bruised all over. I know he
must be sorry cause 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.......

If you are against domestic abuse,
please pass this page along to everyone,
NOT just women.
