a nightmare

I hear him on the stairs.
I pull the blanket up to my chin.
The stairs are creaking.
I hold my breath.
The door opens slowly,
trying not to wake me,
but I know what's coming.
My lungs are burning,
screaming for oxygen.
But I don't dare to breathe,
to make a sound
I shut my eyes tight,
so tight I see stars,
so tight my head starts hurting.
Then I feel him next to me.
I'm so scared.
I'm shaking.
And I know he feels it.
I hear him chuckle.
It makes the game so much more fun to him,
and then he pulls off the blanket,
With so much force,
I fall off the bed.
My eyes fly open,
but he's not there,
and then I realize,
It was just a dream.
Just a long lost memory...
