I pushed myself against the wall
when he tried to touch me, I knew it all
he wouldn't hurt me, but who I saw
in him would - THAT MAN, with a painful flaw

Memories of my past struck me cold
my soul shivered, young and old
His touches were never soft and kind
each touch left a scar, a heart and mind

My soul cried out as I saw him again
after years of happiness, and love in vain
The touch still haunts me, a ghost in my brain
Suddenly, I felt the beatings, the pain

I screamed hard, begging him to cease
but none listened, just a haunting release
I felt like dying, the pain so intense
that burning sensation, a dark descent

I fell down, all in pain, he witnessed wide-eyed
my love, unaware, my soul already divided
by that man, who broke me, and left me to hide
I'll never be okay again, the ghost of his touch inside

For the ghost of his touches still haunts me
even if all the love my love gave.
