Half a heart

A person functions with half a heart

but does not live until made whole.

Half-hearts come in different shapes and sizes

Each half holding a distinct role.

It takes a lifetime to find it out there

the half that fits your half.

Effort is needed to find the right half

unless you use magic, a wand or a staff.

There are those who can't wait 

to be whole and so they hurry.

Rushing the process, they sew

their half to another without worry.

But thin thread cannot do much to hold

two halves with different hopes and dreams.

After the fabric is worn and ravaged by time,

the halves slowly break apart by the seams.
