Part of ME

You are a part of my soul,
you groomed my love for a child.
I didn’t know I could feel so much,
all these emotions,
I feel the fear of loss.
This unending sense of helplessness,
I tried to shield you from harm.
My love for you has no bounds,
you are a part of me,
of my love, my hope, my being.
Nothing can define my love for you,
you carry a part of me.
