She Knows

She knows:

She knows when you walk in at night
She knows when you leave at dawns light
She knows where everything is placed
She knows how each minute can’t be replaced

She knows from the taste of your breath
She knows from the restless feelings your repress
She knows when the clock is ready to strike midnight
She knows that’s when you’re about to take flight

She knows when the phone does not ring
She knows when it’s the simple little things
She knows how to turn the other cheek
She knows when you start to speak

She knows by the missing strokes to comb her hair
She knows by the way you clinch for air
She knows by the way you have stop caring for the house
She knows by the way you make phone calls in the dark

She has always known about your time away
She had always just turned the other way
She has you timed down to every last beat
She has you figured out and now she’s ready to compete

You always thought that you were one step ahead, you thought you took precautions to cover your tracks, you always thought that you would never be caught, you just didn’t see it coming, not this, not now…

Sooner or later she will always find out… It’s because she’s paid attention to the littlest details.
