Half Love

Half love
a slow-burning flame,
A maze of echoes in your brain.

Half love
The other half draws the line,
Parallel prayers to fractured stars

Holds me like a fleeting spark,
A puzzle piece lost in the dark

Half Love
Swapping souls for porcelain chains
shattered before they clasp

Half love,
Half devotion,
Two halves aching to merge into one.

Half love
Boundaries choke the dream
Half scattered in pieces and faded.

Half-love,
and we’re now “safe”
In our fenced forest

Half love
Whispers of what could be true,
A fragile dream I’d risk.

Still, I’d wait.
Still, I’d wait.
