Flowers Today



By Unknown (got it in an email)



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 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,
It wasn't Valentines day or any other day.
We argued cause I found out he cheated.
He always hurts me but this time he is really
sorry. He must be, ..
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.
