Read the poem:
An old friend of mine
I apologize for two minutes, to keep you busy
for an ex-boyfriend of mine, I want to talk to you
Eso I had the intention to hurt him
but fight with his bridle, I do not want to fuck him
We were thirty years old, very good company
but what if we suffered, now in the last…
I had him for thirty years, do not drip or rain
I had to get wet, so I could muse
To happen to go out, yes, to forget him
I crawled back at once, begging me to catch him
Puddings in praise, without taking it
Yes, to leave him alone, as if I were hiding
I was a pervolin and I sat down, as if I were breathing
the wind blows takes him, he fell into the pit
I immediately went downstairs to get him out
I thought they did not, like another jealous friend
Who in this my friend, in anxiety
but what did you do to me, then you ask
One night at midnight, they came to my booth
Dude, every now and then you's a joke
we lay down that neck, yes you can cripple me.
I'm not your friend, he'm crying.
Are you not
I am not, yes now, Haros fell with me
I am the son of Satan, my name is Tsar
Well, since you are the son of Satan, go to hell
my precious life, you will not eat it for me.
I have a piece of advice for you, so if you want to hit
those of you who know him,
Never kiss you, don't get involved.
just try, get rid of it.
