She had hair that was as filthy as the gutter itself,358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ebpbZp5Ww
And even her brown eyes screamed of pity and hell,358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3W75mDek2
Her face clearly expressed ‘party all night, sleep all day,’358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6wOOE4gX8

And now, his death had left me quite weak,358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTp2t45mJr
Unable to maneuver myself, unable to speak,358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXPcJpHND2
I only wanted best for him, only wanted him to succeed,358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBNk2zjjU1

My son, my poor innocent bundle of joy,358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjl7UTNbz3
Whom I used to buy the most expensive of toys,358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jxPDxuS20

My life is over, no more parties on the deck.
