You set my priorities
With just a desire
Planted in me
Unquenchable fire
Fueling it intensely
As if nothing else matters
As if I don’t have work to do
As if I don’t need to eat
As if I don’t need to sleep
It’s just to please you
Even if it only brings you
A single smile a day
I’d do it every day
You set my path
There is this deep longing
Filling this deep need
To remain connected
Mutual belonging
To a common thread
Interwoven into strength
Able to outlast the strongest steel
Only break is the exhale
Then back at it
Like I hit the bricks
Never going back
It’s all for this
You set my emotion
Equally responsive
Sensitive to each fluctuation
Bonded into subtle manipulation
Flexing repeatedly
Into a serene divinity
Happy and ecstatic
Sad and mad
Comfortable and relaxed
Amplifying everything you feel
It’s as if it is my own
As if you are home
So glad to be home
