nothin’s ‘n<br />
my soft whisperin’s<br />
‘n my waiting legs<br />
‘n my<br />
sweet sweet<br />
words<br />
‘n<br />
warp ‘em<br />
discard ‘em<br />
like all them<br />
orange peelin’s<br />
ground into<br />
the floor<br />
of nowhere<br />
by your dirty feet<br />
as your<br />
sticky wet fingers<br />
pen a love letter<br />
to her<br />
to her!<br />
well<br />
let me<br />
whisper just one<br />
more sweet nothin’<br />
into your wanton ear<br />
my dear<br />
go fuck yourself<br />
