If You Ever Cross Me

I am never jealous, but theirs an evil in my eye Step forward and cross me, and soon you'll wonder why No matter where you are, it doesn't matter where you hide For I'm the clever one, who'll find you and watch you slide There are some things that you will never own, nor I, so read my words For if I have to find a reason, my actions are seldom heard These actions I speak about, are the watching of your life fade And the squealing through your last breath, your body in dying cascade I am never jealous, but theirs an evil in my eye Step forward and dare to cross me, and soon you'll wonder why The world is small enough, it takes nothing for me to try I can only ever promise, take what is never yours, and you will rightly die http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/me-3.php
