I need to find this poem so that I can help a friend in need. I heard it once on the radio and didn't know how to find it. There is no author to this poem so this put up another road block. I would appreciate it if anyone could help me out.

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 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 very special day. It was the day of my funeral Last night, he finally killed me, beat me to death If only I had gathered enough courage and strength to leave him I would not have gotten flowers today.
