Every time you touch me

There’s a coldness within

Like I know every other body where those hands have been

Am I just another pretty face?

another body for you to debase?

I thought you’d make me feel warm

But your lips are like ice

And your hands are starting to feel like you don’t ask before you take

Or love is something that you don’t make

But you take

And you take

And you take

Your fingernails left their mark

Down my body they rake

I am frozen

My innocence and purity have been stolen

Your greedy hands kneaded at my body

After I was bruised and swollen

You were done

After it was over all I wanted to do was run

But like a lady does

I stayed composed

I gathered my things

As I was walking home

The same sinister chill resided

Cascading down my neck

I felt as though my legs would give out

I’m a complete wreck

I arrive home and stumble into the bathroom

All I want is scolding water on my skin

Anything to wash away this nightly sin

I curl under the hot water

The chill still resides

I turn the shower dial once more

Water burns down my skin it glides

Until finally the chill stopped
