I'Ll Burn Your Name Into the City

(Inspired by Mathew Atchley of Hot Spot Studio's "The Joker and the Thief" a drawing on the marriage of the Joker and Harley Quinn.)

Lost in memories of padded walls
Mind-numbing pills and 
Psycho-babble spiels. 
I fell through the cracks
Of manipulation and seduction.

Trying to entice you.
Make a device of you.
Acted like I despised you.
But as I abused you
And seduced you

I broke somewhere between
Reality and insanity.

Now I’ll watch as the fire
Blazes behind your masked eyes.
And we share smiles
Brought by pain
And mutual love of misery.

Our own sadistic victory.
While I burn your name into the city.
