Anybody know where I can find a poem written about a husband who beats his wife to death?
Posted by adminAug 28
In the poem apparently its an abusive relationship and has been for some time. He continuously beats her and towards the end the poet says that he is taking her flowers but this time to her grave. It was circling (sp) a lot on MySpace and even on Yahoo! Mail…..
I want to inspire a woman to leave her relationship.
Please help me find that poem.

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 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.
And it wasn’t Mother’s Day or any 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 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
