I read about a thousand stories and found so many common plot devices caught in traps in my head that I turned the rabid plot bunnies loose in a tournament until one proved itself to be stronger than the rest and then handed it to my muse… this is what I had when they were done. They felt that every lover should hand this to their significant other so as to not cause those common plot twists. I always knew there was something off with that muse…

The Lovers Request

Do not hurt my family I love them very much

If you wish to be rid of me tell me such

If you choose to kill me please make it clean

And if you really love me don't be over mean

If we have children love 'em as they are

If you have to hurt us don't let it scar

If I'm not enough for you please don't cheat

And if I become broken just understand

That I truly love you; this was not my plan

Don't forget that I exist

Don't ever greet me with your fist

If you grow to hate me please set me free

And if you can't love me please tell me

Please don't betray me or mine

If you can do these things we'll be fine
