I got no sense of danger, |
|
when I met her at first, |
|
though with hindsight's cold certainty |
|
I was always a target. |
|
From the very start |
|
she'd been training her sights on me. |
|
I only later discovered |
|
to her family and friends |
|
she'd refer to me constantly |
|
as if our casual acquaintance |
|
were a bigger thing. |
|
But I'm not part of her history, |
|
no I'm not part of the action, |
|
I've no part in the plot. |
|
In all honesty |
|
she was never that close to me. |
|
When I heard of the stories |
|
she'd been spreading around, |
|
the malevolent fantasies |
|
I broke off any contact, |
|
thought that was civilised. |
|
How could I have been so naive? |
|
I've been dumb and defenceless |
|
while she's been dogging my steps |
|
homicidally. |
|
She got dangerously close you see, |
|
she got dangerously close to me. |
