He Could Be #5

By Sammy Ginsberg

He’s starting a startup and I’m
his startup girlfriend.

He’s at work til 10pm every night and I’m
his startup girlfriend.

He’s worried he can’t give me as much of his brain as I deserve and I’m
his startup girlfriend.

He’s telling me it’s always going to be like this, more power, more money, more responsibility, and I’m
his startup girlfriend.

What is a startup girlfriend?
You’re probably wondering

How did this happen again? Another one
with a vision, motivation, and I’m sideline
side-love; supporting him in his dream

Why can’t love be enough?
We have to go to bed by 11:30 so he can wake up at 7:30am
and change the world.

I wake up at 7:30am, too, I wander to the cafe
to collect my thoughts, collect my dreams
have a latte

His brain is busy, and I’m his startup girlfriend
Changing the world toooooo

this is a feeling that needs to be discussed
how to make it not feel like this.
