half a lot is more than nothing

I am always half of nothing I am always dreaming of aortic destabilization My blood spilling out like a fountain to your attention

No not attention

Half the time, half the pleasure and nothing to show for it

The half measures and half meetings of the people I care about more than 1 1/2 double over

Free the first part and cut me in half

You cut me in half and then

Cut us before I could feel the individual blow. blow up

The fire settles at the bottom, crackling at my feet

I kissed her long and hard in the warm summer night, in the pool we dipped half way
