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;

I know that he is sorry and didn’t mean to say 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 that 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 our anniversary or any other special day;

Last night he threw me into a wall and then started choking me;

It seemed unreal, a nightmare, but you wake up from nightmares;

And I woke up this morning sore and bruised all over—but I know he is sorry;

Because he sent me flowers today.



I got flowers today!

And it wasn’t Valentines Day or any other special day;

Last night he beat me and threatened to kill me;

Make-up and long sleeves didn’t hide the cuts and bruises this time;

I couldn’t go to work today because I didn’t want anyone to know—but I know

he’s 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 again, and it was worse than all of the other times;

If I leave him, what will I do? How will I take care of the kids? What about

money?

I’m afraid of him, but I’m too scared and dependent to leave him! But he

must be sorry;

Because he sent me flowers today.





I got flowers today….

Today was a special day—it was the day of my funeral;

Last night he killed me;

If only I would have gathered the courage and strength to leave him;

I could have received help from the Women’s Shelter, but I didn’t ask for

their help;

So I got flowers today—for the last time.

Our Life.....

As I sit here and watch the day end

I find myself dreaming of us

Not dreaming of the future or present

But of the past oh how happy we were

We used to joke and laugh together

It was like we were two teenagers

Not caring what others said or thought

Here we are two years later

Our whole life and relationship has changed

Changes are supposed to be for the better

Well not for us it was for the worse

All we do is make each other angry

Fight by being around one another

What has happen to us our lives our relationship

all we built together has fallen apart

Everything we fought for is gone

Like the wind just took it up and away from us

Oh how I wished we could go to the past

And change the way things are now

So please lets try and work this out

Lets just stop and start this over
