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.

Massive! The stories between those two characters is mind-blowing & a psychological tour de force. Those two sharing "love" together, makes for quite the destructive environment. This was very, very well done!
