Every time
That warm water touches her skin
It seems to detect the places
Where he had let his fingers slide over.
All the places for which she cried
Because they could never get clean again.
And the water turns all those places
Scarlett!
Deep red dots and stripes
All over her.
And no matter how many times
she'll wash his finger prints off herself,
the marks will stay.
as if her body wants people to recognize
that she's been hurt
and that she just wants to be
locked away from the world,
'cause no one would understand
the pain in her heart
and the emptiness in her eyes
and why she freezes when touched.
