Ch1

So Josh told me I should start a poetry series. So from now on, every poem with a "Ch" in the title, is apart of the story.
No poems will be tited, theyll just have a chapter number.

I was told to sleep in the living room for the night.
I got tucked in, a kiss on the cheek.
Then the lights went out...
Hours later shivering, because the windows open.
The cool nights air materializing through the blanket.
Immense darkness all around.
All is silent...
Then my small ears catch a sound, so quiet...
The stairs creaking, so quiet...
Im blinded by the lightlessness, but I know someones there.
I can feel their presence.
Im not scared, why should I be?
And then cool hands touching me, out of nowhere.
 My arms, my hands...
Im not afraid, why should I be?
Touching my face...
Hands so cold!
And then my shins.
And then im scared, terrified., because its become everything in between.
Now, I wish Id cried. I wish Id screamed!
I wish Id known then what I know now.
The first time, shouldve been the last time...
But too scared to speak up, too frightened to scream.
I closed my eyes, but it didnt make a difference, because I couldnt see anyways.
Then nothing, I guess I fell asleep...
The next morning, then day, then night... nothing
I guess I forgot...
For once, I forgot.
For once, I slept without memories of him plaguing my dreams,
my thoughts, my nightmares.
For once, I guess I had peace.
