Words.  That's all he is.  Words.  That's all he's good for.  Words, words, words.  Words.  Pretty words, charming words, seductive words.  But I'm leaving you, pretty boy.  I'm leaving you and all your words.

I loved the flowers.  My favorite color too.  So thoughtful.  You're always so thoughtful.  Ready to cater to my every whim.  But I'm leaving you, pretty boy.  You and all your charming words.
