He slips into the house home from a date. He turns back the clock so she won't think he's late. ~But she already knows~ He stays up the whole night lying there in bed. Thinking of a lie that hasn't yet been said. ~But she already knows~ Someone always calls when she's at home alone. When she says hello they hang up the phone. ~So she already knows~ He might not say a word, might have an alibi. He'll tell a desperate lie, the truth is never heard. ~But she already knows~ A note is on the bed begging to be read. Their marriage is through. In the morning he will know ~What she already knew~ --You can either take me as I am...or you can watch me as I go.-- |

Hi TA..... Mmmmmm....this sounds familiar, like I've lived it before!!! This is really great, my friend, and a lot of us know how this feels, too. I love the way you write, and hope you do a lot more, so I can read them!!!! Today is a gift.... That is why they call it 'the Present'! |

TA Very nice read - don't men realize that a woman always knows when her husband is cheating. They say they are the last to know, but they really know all along but do not want to face it. It is a hurt that is hard to live through. Yes, alot of us can relate to it. I am glad I stopped by. didi |

Tennessee~ My heart would ache for anyone who has to experience this knowing. You wrote a tender portrayal of recognizing betrayal. It's so good to see you here with us, my friend. Love ya' ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Cool. I like the ending. --Dave "Don't let your character get camoflaged with your environment. Find who you are and let it stay in its true colors." --Rachel Joy Scott |
