FLOWERS

WE HAD OUR FIRST ARGUMENT LAST NIGHT.

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 MOTHER'S DAY OR ANY OTHER SPECIAL DAY.

LAST NIGHT, HE BEAT ME UP AGAIN.

IT WAS WORSE THAN ALL THE OTHER TIMES.

IF I LEAVE HIM, WHAT WILL I DO?

HOW WILL IT 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 WOULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN FLOWERS TODAY...
