Half of Me

I thrive in all things halved

Half a song, half a thought

Half a moon, plied and dwarfed

Half a dream, sold and bought



Entirety and I have never agreed

It walked me mid-way and left my side

Extremes balanced, none the same breed

Chasing to complete me when I run and hide



Strongly enclosing one precious dime

I was born with this stubborn, clenched fist

Half a dime, I wittingly gave up to time

The other conserved jealously in storm and mist



Half of my heart went to the world

Half caved in the dark and cold

Half in love like a bud unfurled

Half angst and spite enfold



Only ever sing half my song

Only ever show half my face

Half-written this poem, if you read along

Risks half of you, half is safe



All or nothing is the rule and the game

A doting or loathing heart takes my blame

Halfway lies my all, halfway nothing be

Halfway I stop for you’ll only ever have…


…..Half of me
