stealing butterflies; Original song for two young youtubers

So, a little while back, two teenage girls messaged me with very similar stories within the same week, they were both raped, and they both asked that I write them a song...I , fortunately, have never experienced such a tragedy but I was up for the challenge. Sorry it took so long, but here it is...

Stealing Butterflies

I was taught don't talk to strangers
Oh and I listened
How was I to know I was in danger
I trusted him

Does he know what he stole from me?

He stole the blush upon my cheek
and took those butterflies from me,
They were mine
And now nightmares instead of dreams
This is a dirt I cannot clean
Oh I've tried
He's a thief in the night
Stealing butterflies

I was in no castle with prince charming
I was on no honeymoon
In the back of his car
Alarm was sounding
Just begging for him to move
Does he know what he stole from me?

He stole the blush upon my cheek
and took those butterflies from me,
They were mine
And now nightmares instead of dreams
This is a dirt I cannot clean
Oh I've tried
He's a thief in the night
Stealing butterflies

And he can apologize, but this scar is for life
Is there a lesson to be learned?
What he stole cannot be returned

Cuz He stole the blush upon my cheek
and took those butterflies from me,
They were mine
And now nightmares instead of dreams
This is a dirt I cannot clean
Oh I've tried
He's a thief in the night
Stealing butterflies
