When they touch her she starts to shiver 
Then she goes home and cries enough to make her palms a river 

It used to please her 
she never felt used 
It was mutual and they both felt amused 
Now she rejects any type of affection 
Because she thinks it's dangerous and refuses any attention 

How can one night inflict so much pain to human being?
He was a stranger and a predator 
Sometimes she wonders if it's a blessing
Or maybe 
A curse that she doesn't remember that night 
But when she falls asleep and begins to dream
It haunts her and she begins to scream
She hears his gasps and feels the grasps 

This is why she has trouble sleeping during the night 
Looks for other ways to distract her mind 
But sometimes when she seeks for comfort her friends seem out of sight
Maybe it's just her conscience but she always feels lonely during midnight 

You can hear the damage in her voice 
She used to laugh, she used to smile 
You can barely hear her when she speaks and it shows
That she no longer enjoys being around others, she only stays for a while...
