Analysis of Burnt Out Soldier



To me, women are everything,
but the army took them away from me,
I would give the whole world for them,
and now I wake up alone at five a.m.

Life without women is difficult for me,
but there is still a small hope:
when I get leave
some blonde to caress.

I'm a burnt out soldier
who struggles with reattempts,
and I would like some woman
lying positions to teach.
