I won't forget it
it won't go away
the more i try not to
i think of that day
i was so open
so trusting and dumb
it was going alright
then my brain went all numb
you touched me in places
that you never should
and i didn't say a thing
didn't think that i could
though the trauma's now over
the scars still run deep
so i retreat to my room
and i cry till i sleep
sleep-
-after hours and hours of awakened consciousness
sleep-
-because that sense of being is what makes me so damn afraid
sleep-
-it's like temporary death
