What he did

(Intro – whispered)

“I still smell the fear on my skin.

Still see the door that wouldn’t open.”

⸻

(Verse 1)

He said, “Relax,” but my body froze,

Walls closing in, nowhere to go.

Voice cracked—he didn’t hear no,

Now I carry that night like a shadow.

My heartbeat begged for a way out,

But the silence screamed louder than my shouts.

Now I flinch when the floorboards creak,

I learned what pain can’t speak.

⸻

(Chorus)

I’m trapped in a memory I never chose,

Trying to heal from a cut that never closed.

He took what he wanted, left me in fear,

But I’m still standing — I’m still here.

⸻

(Verse 2)

Can’t trust touch, can’t stand eyes,

I build walls just to survive.

Every smell, every sound brings it back,

A ghost that attacks from the cracks.

Tried to scrub it off in the shower,

Didn’t wash away what he powered.

It’s not dirt — it’s the shame he gave,

But I won’t live inside that grave.

⸻

(Bridge)

They ask me why I don’t smile,

Like healing’s just a matter of style.

But some nights I still see his face,

And pray for peace in that place.

⸻

(Chorus)

I’m trapped in a memory I never chose,

Trying to heal from a cut that never closed.

He took what he wanted, left me in fear,

But I’m still standing — I’m still here.

⸻

(Outro)

Now I write it down to take back control,

Turn my pain into something whole.

He broke a body, but not my song,

I’m still breathing — I’m still strong.
