I Got Flowers Today
- From Tara's Dedication -
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 was
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. 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?
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.
