Hands
A gentle hand rest upon her shoulder
She flinched at the harmless touch
She knew too well of the damage hands could do
She flew backwards into time
Hands that carressed her
Now hurt her
Breaking her very soul
Hands, all over her body
Defiling her and damaging her
Hands, taking away her innocence
Hands were always taking
Hands were always breaking her into more pieces
She was touched
And after the hands took what they wanted, they disappeared
Leaving a shell of the girl who had once been.
