Because He Loves Me
He loves me
He cares for me
He made me happy
He called me pretty
He gave me presents
He pushed me against his bedroom wall
He wouldn’t let me leave
He made me sick
He pulled on my clothes
He touched me when I said no
But he loves me
He loves me
He cares for me
He made me happy
He called me pretty
He gave me presents
I called for help and got in trouble
From his parents
He forced himself on me
I can feel his breath on my neck
I stayed quiet
I stayed quiet for months
But he loves me
He loves me
He cares for me
He made me happy
He called me pretty
He gave me presents
He forced himself on me
I still feel everything
I feel where he touched my body
It's been almost 2 years
How do I get him off of my body
I see him every day
He still tortures me
But he never loved me
He never loved me
He only cared for himself
He made me suicidal
He called me filthy
He gave me trauma
He is still ok
Nothing happened to him
I can never escape
He will always haunt me
He will always have touched me
