From dark lips
The lights press the soft skin
To rough hands
Eyes lit on sharp threats
From dark lips
The lights press the soft skin
Eyes lit on sharp threats
From dark lips
The lights press the soft skin
To rough hands
Eyes lit on sharp threats
From dark lips
The lights press the soft skin
To rough hands
Eyes lit on sharp threats
From dark lips
The lights press the soft skin
To rough hands
Eyes lit on sharp threats
From dark lips
The lights press the soft skin
To rough hands
Eyes lit on sharp threats
From dark lips
The lights press the soft skin
To rough hands
Eyes lit on sharp threats
From dark lips
The lights press the soft skin
To rough hands
Eyes lit on sharp threats
From dark lips
The lights press the soft skin
To rough hands
