Daddy Said I Could Keep Her, Until She Runs Away

The pain made me awake
  Quickly with a start
It's Christmas morning
  I think I was good this year
I'm hoping Santa flooded the tree with presents
  Although it's never been known to happen
      This year I'm feeling lucky
My small hands quickly pushed the Barbie stained sheets off of me
I stumbled over broken toys and old dolls
  Headed towards the door
I placed my hand on the knob
  Only to find it locked shut
      No surprise there
Daddy probably locked it to keep me away
  His friends came over
      He needed more candy for his veins
I stared at the door
  Hoping this would make it unlock
With no success I decided to play with Cherry
  Daddy named her
He told me
      Youngest cherries taste the best
He told me
      I could keep my Cherry until she runs away
She hasn't tried yet
    As for this, I'm glad
She's my very best friend
        And makes me feel safe...

Author notes

The below poems are like a short chapter in each story, from a different person's view of perspective each time. Reading them in order is probably the best idea, but you can also read them as an individual poem

POEMS IN ORDER
Daddy Said I Could Keep Her, Until She Runs Away
I Avoided The Obvious
I'll Never Be Her Hero, But I've Never Really Tried
Coming Soon: Brittany Set2

Brittany- Set1
Takes place on Christmas
(note, she's around 7 years old)

Please don't critique this, I'm not going to change anything. I just want to know what you think of it, what you think should happen, etc etc. I'd love to get some ideas for what will happen later

    i dont know y, but i felt it kinda creepy, (although i dont know what the story is about )and adore this kind of "creepiness".
    i can clearly see that u evolved into a sensational poet/writer, and m so happy to witness this growth,

    il b looking forward to read more similar pieces and hopefully il get to rad your story
