Emily, Just a Question

Emily, let me ask you something

The life that you needed. 
Why did you love a poor guy?

Lives dead. Our children. Hmm
You don’t cry. Your children are dead

I am sad. Disappointed. Field my life
A life, a poor existence, walk on and off

Emily. Here is the question. Answer it.
What did you want from a general worker?

Hmm. You were a hired woman against me.
English Mata Hari. Emily. Hmm. I forgive you.

A millionaire woman ate the life of a poor man.
Hmm. Nothing happened. I drop your hand.

Best of the best
Hmm.
Goodbye

Passed
Love

Find him
