Memories

I decided to remember 

But not to let them know 

They brought me here to kill me, 

But I would rather die 

I decided to remember 

That I would always know 

That moment at midnight, 

Floorboard creaks, 

Headlights, 

Gunshots, Screams, 

They told her they would kill her 

Mum said she would rather die 

No time to 

Hug goodbye 

Only time to cry 

In the back of a truck 

5 minutes past midnight.
