I met evil when I was only a child
I met him in the dark when even the stars couldn’t shine
And he was beguiling
I met him in the winter while Jack Frost stole my toes
And he was terrifying
I met him in a storm
The waves were crashing and the cliffs were creaking
And he was dangerous
I met him at midnight
Alone, I waited for someone to come
And he was ferocious
But then I met him in the morning
And the sun was shining
And the birds were singing
And evil was still there
