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 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
