I would dress warm
Because of my midsummer fevers
But you saw through me
Anyway
You had an understanding
Of why I do what I do
You thought you could have changed me
And then you would go too far

I loose my clothes
Layer by layer
I was stripped and naked
I felt violated
You touched me with your words
And those eyes of sorrow
I felt sick beneath my skin
Grossed out by what I could not have seen
But it felt so true

As the fabric, My protection
Gave way to what was penetrating
My mind woke up from its deep slumber
And the wall that harbored me
Slowly ruined itself
For so long
My clothes were my shelter
I wore to hide my fear
And now, that's all over
I won't runaway this time.
