You are not a side hustle

I grind day in and day out
putting in those deep dark hours
trying to find us the success
we deserve
yet with you here
I no longer need to find happiness
for you are no side hustle
you are my main business
the thing I set my focus on
the one I do the deep work with
for whom I give those extra hours
and whom I invest the most in
that one risk I will always take no matter the odds
the one basket I put all the eggs in
that one supreme currency everything else is compared to
the one I write lunatic sales posts about online
I would do anything for you if you so desired
let me be your top production factor
and your number one employee
and I will always give you what you want

Chocolate

Choco, choco, choco
dark chocolate for my heart
choco, choco, choco
white chocolate for my mind
choco, choco, choco
milk chocolate for soul
chocolate with nuts, caramel chocolate
maketh my being go nuts
got to have my chocolate
can’t be without chocolate
or I’ll be sad and late and out of date
not in sync with the day
I’ve got to unwrap you
and have my chocolate

Words

I hear, I listen, I heed your words
I write them on my skin with a permanent marker
needing them now and forever
to be reminded of those words always
when I asked you if you loved me
for the millionth time
after the millionth thing we disagreed on
and a million useless words about simple things
such as what soap we want to buy from the store
and who will do the dishes next week
so I had to have your words for it
I need them with me always because I fear I will forget
so you told me the words
saying ”I love you”
so I scrawled your name and your words on my skin
desperately hoping that time will not fade them

My heart

You are my heart, beating and pounding
in the rhythm of life unbounded
grounding me in this moment
carrying me around in tender movements

You flow in me and I flow in you
where you go, I go too
since we are two in one
we move where we need to in unison

your veins are connected to me
my soul is coalesced into you
You go ba- I go dum-
and the essence flows between us

I grow with you and you grow with me
we are so much better together
I wish to be connected to you forever
so we can be greater hearts always
