Sealed with your steel kiss.
It was your kiss that locked me into the insanity of Arkham, I fell for you like a dying bird, I was unable to gasp for air, your arms wrapped around me so tight I Longed to be with you, Our love was
like Plutonium , so Unreliable,risky Yet full of energy and unpredictable sparks and explosions, Your love was unreal, You my Joker, are the soul of my existence, my life was never easy,
My life in the circus was dismal, My childhood? None existent, I wish you coulda seen me then, In my teens I was quite the acrobat, but then I ran away from the torture and abuse of my mother and stepfather and all the circus cronies , I slaved away day after day, till finally I gained my place as a trainee Psychiatrist, you caught my eye straight away, your devilish grin alarming yet sensually enticing , I 'studied' you for hours ,hehe, studied? In all honesty I couldnt help but admire, The dark subtle haze of your smoky eyes made me feel hot and tingly, when nurses sedated you, I sat by your bed, despite you being strapped to a bed, I held your hand, your hands were as so soft, not those who would ever think of killing another man, but the hands of a lover, a king, a hero...To me you were all those things.
I remember the first time I had charge of you, Id passed all my training and it was time for your weekly interview, the small, white walled room constantly monitored at all times when you were present within it, your eyes never left my gaze whilst I asked you all those questions, you always called yourself jack,nothing else...just jack ,I was so curious, desperate to know every little detail of your remarkable life, I longed to know more, I longed to know you...I remember switching off the tape recorder and you whispering in my ear... "I know your little secret harley, uhm dont worry I wont go tell the big guy" he smirked his ruby lips split into a huge grin as he playfully tapped me on the back. "Don't be ridicules" I replied, "Your just another inmate"
Of course you weren't JUST another inmate...I recall the first time I sneaked into your padded cell, despite all the security, making up excuses that you 'forgot to take your meds again' or something along those lines, I don't know its so long ago now...How you figured me out that fast though Jack...I'll never know, you seemed to know everything about me, yet I knew so little about you,I recall sitting on in the corner of your cell, watching you as you slept, you seemed surprised when you woke up and saw me glancing at you from across the room, you laughed at me...
"Ahh Harley dear how nice of you to join me at this unsightly hour"your grin stood girmly upon your face once more
"Yes well...I had to check on you and ...er" I muttered
"Check on ME? Are you sure YOU were'nt checking ME out?" he spluttered with a cackle of laughter,his green tinted hair flew over his eyes and covered his face whilst his eyes twinkled in the glow of the small emergency light in the corner.
"I...erm better be off then, I'll see you in the morning " I stammered,nervously glancing into the direction of jacks face
"Not so fast" Jack whispered softly "its been a while since I had visitors"
It was so wrong, so non-professional yet it felt so right, so perfect Jack grabbed my hand suddenly,I couldn't pull away, his grip stuck firm to my tiny hand, Id never realised how big his hands actually were before,I saw the dark circles of his eyes emphasised by the now flickering emergency light, his red lips parted slightly, tempting my senses tortuously he knew my secret, It would destroy my sanity, but save my soul, he stared at me longingly, "So tell me..." he began awkwardly
"What's it like loving a psychopath like me?"
"Don't start this nonsense again Jack" I protested bitterly
my gaze fixed to the bloodied white padding that en coated the cell,The only trace that remained of the Jokers old cell mate,The ceiling was encrusted with black mould and the floor with smothered in scuffed foot prints,from where Jacks paced day after day,
"Don't lie to me" Jack growled, pulling me closer,
"Jack please...I.." I Pleaded I closed my eyes for a flash of a second
His lips compressed mine,he pulled me towards his chest, he wrapped me in his
scuffed purple jacket,his tong entwined with my own as I gasped for air,his smile was far broader than ever before.
"Harley...I want you to visit me more often.." he said softly, nuzzling my hair and forehead.
"No one can ever find out about us" I hissed sharply
Jack looked taken-a-back slightly, but continued to hold me close
"Okay...just promise me?"
"Yes, I promise" I smiled
It was the beginning of a beautiful partnership
