An ode to he who must not be named.

Kerry

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.

    Though many would condem I do not. If one is aware of the consequences of one's actions then the choice is theirs and should they be happy in misery and pain so be it. One's happieness is all that is of value in this life and it is not for others to tell how that should be experienced.
