Half of my Heart

I never knew I was only half,
Spending an endless life,
On the wrong path.
With half a heart,
How could I have lived,
When we were apart?

So much time alone,
Never truly having a place,
That I could call home.
The world was dim,
None of the pieces or cracks,
Being filled in.

Then, it was suddenly bright,
A vibrant moon,
In my starless night.
When I gazed into your eyes,
A fire ignited within me,
It took me by surprise.

Every time you held me,
My heart would inflate,
You always held the key.
With half a heart,
How could I have lived,
When we were apart?
