Touches

They think I’m a strange one. Tactile, so co-dependent. Incapable of being alone.

Nervous and jumpy but desperately craving affection.

I need it. I need someone to touch me to know that I’m solid.

Still here.

Real.

 

But something’s happened.

Something.

You.

Him.

That man.

 

It wasn’t even that big of a deal.

Not really, not compared to what some people are subjected to.

It was just some messages and unwanted advances.

But to me it was the end of everything I knew.
