First Love

I cried because the water was too hot.

Couldn’t firstly touch it, with my bare foot.

Then after a seconds, soon, I managed to speak to him about that.

It just was too painful.

To not see.

That I was being raped.

From my own skin to the bones, flesh to the senses.

I almost forgot.

How it is.

First of all, this is how your structure should be:

I cried because the water was too hot.
Couldn’t firstly touch it, with my bare foot.

Then after a seconds, soon,
I managed to speak to him about that.
It just was too painful.

To not see.
That I was being raped.
From my own skin to the bones,
flesh to the senses.

I almost forgot how it is.

You need to work on this line:
(To not see.) It has no correspondence in the second line.

The poem seems to be a minor that complained to her romantic lover about how painful she experienced during their love making.

is better here, although I do share some doubt at the line Jackweb points out. I have a vague idea of where you are going with it, but this could use some clarification. ~ Geezer.
