Wrongful Touch - Trigger Warning.



Crying in the darkness feeling cheaper than a cent.
How could he take my pride away and have no resentment?

Not caring if he hurt me, he only wanted to get his fill.
He knew I didn't want to do it but forced me to be still.

Crying in the darkness, trying to run from that awful night.
I remember how he pushed me down and shattered up my life.
The way he slapped and bruised me, and forced me to keep it hush.
And still, I remember those awful words when he wrongfully touched.
