I got flowers today. It wasn't my birthday or any other special day. We had our first fight last night. And he said alot of cruel thing's that really hurt me. I know he is sorry and didn't mean the things he said. Because i got flowers today. I got flowers today. It wasnt 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 couldnt believe it was real.I know he mus be sorry Because i got flowers today.I got flowers today and it wasnt Mother's day or any other special day.Last night,he beat me up again.And it was much worse than all the other time's.If i leave him,what will i do?How can I take care of my kid's?What about money?I'm afraid of him and scared to leave.But i know he must be sorry.Because i got flowers today.I got flowers today.Today was a very special day.It was the day of my funreal.Last night he finally killed me.He beat me to death.If only i had gathered Enough strength,I would not have gotten flowers today. to those who read this could have been me and i hope this might help someone someday u got to get the strength and just do it theres alot of help today when this happened to me there was not much.but i did surrvive,as a singel gma.

adding to yout poem



you got flowers today
for no reason
but to charm your heart
from a mistake that he shall
do again
being scared is normal for he never
going to change
recieving flowers can be a nice gester
but hes beganing is a another story
guess the flowers
you may receive next will be
on your grave stone
a precious person
learning the heard way
of love that never was

What strong messages in this poem I hope that anyone who is ever abused gets help

^I agree with what she said....

Although abuse comes in many forms. Sometimes that abuse doesn't kill you, it beats you down on the inside in the form of comments, and is more about emotional abuse. So it may kill a person from the inside out.


So he's throwing comments left and right
Everything is your fault
To the world he's a nice guy
Yet on eggshells you always walk

He isn't loving, rarely kind
Except when it suits what he may want
His abuse is internal but still
Those flowers that he bought

Doesn't cover the hurt inside
Or excuse him from such neglect
So ladies find your inner strength
LOVE yourself and get your plans set

You are worth while and you can live
A better life alone
Women's resource center is your answer
So go ahead and pick up the phone

The ladies on the other end
Have been just where you are
It's time to change your life
Belief in you will get you far

yes abuse comes n all form's and i have been through it all and some how with the grace of GOD i surrvived!!!!!!!!!!!!!!it all and it has made me a stronger person.but the emoytional scars will not ever heal.thank's for the poems that have followed mine they r great thank's and i wish more would read these and may be we can help some one with these cause mine is true,i was close to death.

yes i learned the hard way after a 20+yr marriage but i'm free now and have been for a lil over 13 yr's with my grandson.and i try to help others n a abusive situation get out cause this is all so true just wish every one would look around them a c what this world is today.

i think more need to read this cause it's so true but ohwell i guess cause it's true no one wants to read

For every HEART that has been hurt, lives a dream to be free of that pain,,let all DREAMS be FREE of ANY ABUSE!
Thanks for sharing this so beautiful write,,

some will read, but not comment, maybe just a read through will be thought provoking enough to make some one aware of what has been going on in their life and relationships and to see the light in time.

Glad you are a survivor...

I know the truth also, and believe me, it is a very hard one to face when everyone on the outside looking in, thinks your life is just perfect and wonderful. That just goes to show that we are "good actors and actresses" for the sake of family and friends.

Suzanne that was VERY powerful!!! U know how I feel about striking a woman, I pray for all those abused woman and kids out there to find a sancuary from the violence and pain that are inflicted on them!!!

I agree with the other ladies here.

Flowers don't control cruelness of tone
Nor gentle the coming storm
Flowers didnt stay his hand
Nor make him look like a man
Flowers didnt stay the blow
That made the women tuck and bow
Flowers didnt wipe the tears
He made her shed year after year

thank's big T i found that going through a box a while back and hit my and when i c or hear of all the abuse now day's and they just keep taking it i pray for them to get the courage to leave. i had this put n a local news paper yr's ago and i wish i could open a shelter for them.

such a true satement and u r rt and if just 1 person male or female read's this and it help's i would b happy

yes mikey i do and u know some of what i have been through and i pray for them every day as well love u mikey allways friends

so true words but i put on a good front for many yrs and so good my own children didnt kinow till they got older thank's to all of u
