“Do you dare dismiss the poetess; Fuck up her mind with your toxic kiss? Do you dare hide the razors and knives to bore her with your shallow dives? Do you dare dream of a grand vacation fucking your side chick at the Days Inn? Do you dare ask to have your glass refilled after ordering the hit for her spirit killed?
