Flowers
FLOWERS
A week after we met
You brought me flowers
After you choked me
You brought me flowers
After you smacked me around until I was bruised
You brought me flowers
After you messed up really badly
The first day went by
No flowers
The second day went by
No flowers
The third day went by
And still no flowers
The fourth day rolled around
And my heart skips a beat
Because here you come
With at least two dozen roses
The most you’have ever brought
I wanted to act surprised
Like I wasn’t expecting them
To my surprise
You walked right by me with me
As you laid them on a casket
At a funeral for…....... me
