Analysis of Who gave you the right!?
You touched her!
Who gave you the right?
She's losing sleep at night.
Tossing and turning;
eyes burning from endless crying.
Barely making it to the next morning.
You touched her! Who gave you the right?
Making her feel less of a person, like she has no purpose.
Body shaking, her heart aching.
You touched her....
Who gave you the right?
