Darkling
Forget that I am shallow,
Or that I crave tears,
And that I am full of malice
Like a deceitful notion,
I am here to destroy.
Forget that I am terrible,
Or that you ought to fear my thoughts,
And array my silent hunt
That my hardness is soon upon you.
Forget that I am darkness,
And that I am everywhere
So sleep well in the night.
