Part
Phillis Levin

Of something, separate, not
Whole; a role, something to play
While one is separate or parting;

Also a piece, a section, as in
Part of me is here, part of me
Is missing; an essential portion,

Something falling to someone
In division; a particular voice
Or instrument (also the score

For it), or line of music;
The line where the hair
Is parted. A verb: to break

Or suffer the breaking of,
Become detached,
Broken; to go from, leave,

Take from, sever, as in
Lord, part me from him,
I cannot bear to ever

This is how I felt two weeks ago. Exactly.

"Take from, sever, as in
Lord, part me from him,
I cannot bear to ever"

Gotta love that ending.

(I just realized that I comment an awful lot here.)
