It is to laugh, huh Mistah J?
Your words stream through my mind on constant replay.
A killers girl, a narcissistic lover,
for my broken heart there is no other.
Pain makes up my Glasgow-smile,
the pathetic whimpers of a frightened child.
I came to you unable to speak,
stitch-covered, humble and meek.
I kissed you before leaving,
a silent word; a heart pleading.
When later you were hurt,
I sat by your bed without any mirth.
Upon awakening you knew me not,
discarding the reunion I had sot.
I left you a most important locket,
then took the heart from my sleeve and put it in my pocket.
Time passed and you came back to me,
my side of things you now did see.
I carved you a smile perfectly placed,
of token of love upon your face.
I open your smile only to teach you,
for I know not what else I can do.
Into your skin I carved my name,
so no one else may ever lay claim.
If I could smile for myself I'd smile for you,
Nothing Pumpkin, wouldn't I do.
A manic love for demented lovers,
bipolar steps under dancing covers.
Born of tragic back-stories,
damned by corrupt juries.
Nothings left to fall back upon,
nothings left for all is gone.
It's just you and I, Harls,
just today, and no tomorrow.
So laugh at my side while you still can,
for the day we die is the day we're damned.
So to hell with the Bat, for him I care not,
it is you that I love, and I almost forgot.
So let us leave Gotham, forget Arkham,
our mugshots will soon be on milk cartons.
You're all the strength I need,
the poison apple to my twisted tree.
This is what my scared lips wish to say,
that by my side you will stay.
I know I hurt you far beyond grief,
your caved smile forced to keep.
But give it way, as I do mine,
for you're all I need to turn back time.
To before I was broke, before I was cracked,
before my scars, and before the Bat.
I'll do everything I should have done,
forever your love, forever you Puddin.
Together we'll watch the darkness unfurl,
You and I, my Harley-Girl.

*Stares at letter; lights it on fire, walks away as it burns*
