The Answer - Inktober 2018 day 31 part 1

The Answer 

What’s that knocking on the door? 
Don’t answer dear,
Don’t answer. 
But what do they knock for?
Don’t answer dear,
Don’t answer.

What’s that tapping on the glass?
Don’t answer, dove.
Don’t answer.
But they’re tapping oh so fast.
Don’t answer, dove.
Don’t answer. 

Why do you beg to leave?
Don’t answer, sweet.
Don’t answer.
Do you fret on All Hallows’ Eve?
Don’t answer, sweet.
Don’t answer.

Who’s that creeping on the stair?
I can’t answer, heart.
I can’t answer.
Why did you tell me to beware?
I can’t answer, heart.
I can’t answer.

Why have you left me, so alone?
Because you answered, love.
You answered. 
Why does your tortured soul roam?
Because you answered, love. 

You answered.
