You stole my innocence, you soiled my life.
How dare you inflict so much strife.
No one protected me, no one saved me.
Suffering alone and wanting to flee.
Trying to heal my entire life.
It's such a struggle to get things right.
Hiding the pain, hiding the shame,
Feeling unworthy with nothing to gain.
Living alone is so bitter sweet.
No one to hurt me, but no body heat.
I miss being touched in a loving way.
Someone to cuddle without going astray.
I wiggle my toes when I feel myself flee.
No need to escape when it's only me.
So broken, so sad, so tired of crying.
Is it even worth the price of trying?
