Villanelle
Don’t turn on the light.
You’ll give the monsters pain.
Don’t shut out the night.
It is a beautiful night.
Spirits will roam the plains.
Don’t turn on the light.
Let the darkness stay,
To cover the beastly stains.
Don’t shut out the night.
After that tumultuous fight,
The phantoms have much to gain.
Don’t turn on the light.
Force your sorrows to take flight.
Bury the agony once again.
Don’t shut out the night.
Keep the proof out of sight.
Give the devils reign.
Don’t turn on the light.
Don’t shut out the night.
