Plea bargain

An insufferable character?

a cartoon 

A portrait

a familiar joke

In a hellacious home 

A destructed concept of existing in a slip of tannin

of toxic vile syrup on tongues

Look at that lovely face 

at that boyish grin

She looks perfect 

He’s so handsome

Those kind hands 

Sometimes twist around a small neck

And curl around 

what was wanted 

What is left 

go ahead then

Try to preserve it

I dare you.
