I love you because you are the anti-hero,
an antithesis of righteous being
and the other half of my whole.

The idle son, a caricature of error
born with a mind impaired
in witnessing its own majesty
you are tragedy
incarnate.

So lovely and rare,
meticulously self-aware;
as fragmented as you may be
I am ensnared

Jaded vagrant,
you are so unafraid to die
but it is no trouble
because neither am I

Certificate U
Love
