She had hair that was as filthy as the gutter itself,371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9b4XpcfGJ
And even her brown eyes screamed of pity and hell,371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ297HpUk3uq
Her face clearly expressed ‘party all night, sleep all day,’371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkQjAxAqWy
I know girls like these, the ones who lead rich innocent boys astray,371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdiNj6o4K7
My daughter in law, a high school dropout?371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYIsBXMIlH
I might as well suffer from a serious blackout,371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOg5pjEhg7s
When he moved out and rented himself that 19th century apartment,371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfMjiVYFpi
My gosh, I couldn’t believe it! An aristocrat locked up in a dirty ol’ compartment?371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotswScidWy
For someone who gave him nothing but trouble,371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeXXGGXDKt
Slept with men that were her equal, their lives also crumbled,371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXo794k8kQi
Without her, my son was going to be a rich enough oligarchy,371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPgWYbIXSk
Marrying a girl that matched his status, a girl with endless dowry,371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorbMWFxhli

I suspect that witch cursed him, right before sweet death left her dim,371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaiVw9kZpr
And now, his death had left me quite weak,371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7Dj8RUOMY
Unable to maneuver myself, unable to speak,371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciosWUEtBR
I only wanted best for him, only wanted him to succeed,371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpi7bFfgHck
But one thing I did not know, that his death would soon lead,371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTd1b7u22BU
My son, my poor innocent bundle of joy,371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkwJpPOvIL
Whom I used to buy the most expensive of toys,371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICsZDWza6t
Now his face purple, dark marks tainted on his neck,371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbCGKk00lp
My life is over, no more parties on the deck.
