Dear Grandad...

No, I don’t have a boyfriend. I don’t have the desire to see another end; after exhaustive months of getting to know a fictionalised persona, fragmented, so No, I don’t have a boyfriend. The last one hurt and you didn’t see, but that doesn’t proclaim the scar less prominent to me, my feelings numb, I no longer crave the intimacy - detrimental to me. No, I don’t have a boyfriend. The last boys touch was for him not for me and my body still screams cause he won’t let it be and you’ll never understand as the trauma won’t subside and my self esteem is diminished by his lies. No, I don’t have a boyfriend. I humoured a guy who gave it a try but all I could feel was nothing inside and when someone bumps into me sauntering by the unwanted touch still makes me cry. No, I don't want a boyfriend.
