An ode to he who must not be named.

I love you and you are hated.

I love you despite your messed up past that heavily influences our now.

I love you for your danger, your violence.

I love you for your cultural differences even though I despise certain.

I love you for your kindness and joie de vivre.

I love you for your loyalty but wish sometimes you weren’t.

I love your beautiful patchwork eyes that look at other women.

I love your masculinity, your odor, your body that you share.

I love your paternal instincts that was one blow too many.

I love that we continue this toxic codependency even though I shouldn’t, we shouldn’t.

I love you and it is eternal whilst wishing it short.

I love you and have finally found peace…for the moment.
