On and Off

Without warning
She turns it
On and off
A mystery
Then not

It’s creepy
And it’s odd
She turns it
On and off

We don’t know
What goes on
In that strange mind of hers
She turns it
On and off

She pretends to be a doormat
Then spits out snide remarks
She rarely speaks her mind
She turns it
On and off

I know a few people like this. You can pick your friends but not your family.
