A woman's struggle with loneliness.

One hand to hold 

One ear to listen to her complaints. 

One face to look at, 

Talk to, 

Kiss... 

One kiss to sustain her. 

To clear away all evils on this Godforesaken earth for that 

One perfect moment. 

Give her this, and she will give 

Her hands, 

Her ears, 

Her face, 

Lips, 

Soul. 

One hand to hold 

One ear to listen to his complaints, 

One face to look at, 

Talk to, 

Kiss...
