IN THE NIGHT
by Kellymarie McColl-Beggs
I don't know when it will happen
Or what time it will be
But when the darkness falls
They're waiting there for me.
I secure all the doors and windows
Locking them up tight
But it offers no protection
From those hidden in the light.
I know I should not close my eyes
And I fight to stay awake
But as my resistance wanes
It is me that they will take.
I tell them I will remember
They say, with deep regret
"Why put yourself through this?
It is better to forget."
When I open my eyes in the morning
I will know that something is wrong
Yet no matter how hard I may try
The memories are all gone.
