The greatest love story I know is
\nHarley Quinn and the Joker.
\nThey pick each other again and again and again.<\/p>\n
No matter how violent or volatile or unhealthy,
\nthey keep slowly killing each other.<\/p>\n
We are all slowly dying anyway, so why not
\nhave great sex and inside jokes along the way.<\/p>\n
He hates me, you know?<\/p>\n
Truly wishes I was dead. I think if he could,
\nhe’d steal a move from the Joker and
\npush me off a building.<\/p>\n
I’m not as smart as Harley Quinn,
\nbut I know enough to know
\nthat her and I are just ignoring the signs
\nuntil love kills us.<\/p>\n
Ever known anyone truly in love with himself?
\nI have. It’s maddening.
\nThe lies. The secrets. The cruelty.
\nIt’s like being in love with a cranky toddler
\nwho blames you for everything that goes wrong.<\/p>\n
When white trash love story meets upper class meets
\ncomic bad guys romance. That’s us.
\nSo insanely happy.
\nSo content to just kill each other.<\/p>\n
They say Harley was crazier than the Joker,
\nshe pushed harder and faster and was more reckless.
\nMaybe that’s why I love her so much.
\nBecause to love someone who’s crazy,
\nyou have to be crazier than they are just to survive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
