She had hair that was as filthy as the gutter itself,348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmPcmxTTHj
And even her brown eyes screamed of pity and hell,348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bFXi4xuGd
Her face clearly expressed ‘party all night, sleep all day,’348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zmUexHFzX
I know girls like these, the ones who lead rich innocent boys astray,348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixbusUmoP0
My daughter in law, a high school dropout?348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGl3Kl33Sv

When he moved out and rented himself that 19th century apartment,348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WHBwsNXWv
My gosh, I couldn’t believe it! An aristocrat locked up in a dirty ol’ compartment?348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNVMzofnn5
For someone who gave him nothing but trouble,348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bzxkAWkiO
Slept with men that were her equal, their lives also crumbled,348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsAsCwY1aW
Without her, my son was going to be a rich enough oligarchy,348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLFeCB95ga
Marrying a girl that matched his status, a girl with endless dowry,348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XE5Uv9efr

I suspect that witch cursed him, right before sweet death left her dim,348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvkLq2NbFe
And now, his death had left me quite weak,348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2gB9gjhfI
Unable to maneuver myself, unable to speak,348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6X5R7H7V2
I only wanted best for him, only wanted him to succeed,348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHMP9V470w
But one thing I did not know, that his death would soon lead,348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BzxVyTAO5
My son, my poor innocent bundle of joy,348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzW3SZhp25g
Whom I used to buy the most expensive of toys,348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2Vp5avzCz
Now his face purple, dark marks tainted on his neck,348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVGjWFDtYg
My life is over, no more parties on the deck.
