And even her brown eyes screamed of pity and hell,367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9DWZN1QuY
Her face clearly expressed ‘party all night, sleep all day,’367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHBf4rLYt2
I know girls like these, the ones who lead rich innocent boys astray,367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPV3SNm2gYA

When he moved out and rented himself that 19th century apartment,367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLx4Svpvsk
My gosh, I couldn’t believe it! An aristocrat locked up in a dirty ol’ compartment?367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhym2M015jJ
For someone who gave him nothing but trouble,367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcgBwWFPge
Slept with men that were her equal, their lives also crumbled,367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xrMlzYaJH

But one thing I did not know, that his death would soon lead,367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GufO8jvyo
My son, my poor innocent bundle of joy,367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZRzgycRFP
Whom I used to buy the most expensive of toys,367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbI8WfRNDmN

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