Reshma Ramesh - Who Let Them In?

There is a knock on the door,
I can see the latch open,
But it was not me
Who let them in,
It was not me
Who let them in.

I hear the water running,
I can see the taps open,
But it was not me
Who turned them on,
It was not me
Who turned them on.

The candles burning bright,
The melancholy mournful sighs,
The mascara on my lashes,
It was they who let them in.

I look into the mirror,
I am wearing a disguise,
But it was not me
Who put it on,
But it was not me
Who put it on.

I feel my cheeks wet,
I see tears running down,
But it was not me
Who was crying.
But it was not me
Who was crying.

The owls hoot in the night,
Shadows dance in delight,
My blood chills in my veins,
It was they who let them in.

Reshma Ramesh
