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.

For the ghost of his touches still haunts me,Even if all the love my love gave
