For You
by Alex K. Silverson

Loving you is like running
in circles while you’re
standing in the middle
but now i’m out of breath
but you still look like
a masterpiece, painted in
bright and golden colours
While everyone looked
at the painting I was
intently looking at
the brush strokes
smoking a lot
drinking so much
I seldom compliment
the life of an overachiever
but for you
i’ll write a book or maybe
i’ll write it in bloody matrimony
for better or for love
