taking the Life out of another and

The American flirt is as bad as

she steals his time, his influence,

She seems to promise a return for

she rarely keeps her promise.
She doesn't lose her head or her
heart or her time, or any form Of
her energy. She takes and doesn't
give. She is an energy thief.
