I beg you
Do something
Learn a dance step
Something to justify your existence

After all
For so many to have died
While you live
Doing nothing with your life.

My kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder

All my blood for the sweetness of her laughter
It’s never over
She’s a tear that hangs inside my soul forever
