S___p___l___i___t

Split down the middle a conundrum to riddle  
Fifty percent is a good deal in sales terms a steal  
Half time is good and bad half left to enjoy or just sad  
A half to savour and share or emptiness and despair  

When is the mid-life crisis alert? How do you feel; does it hurt?    
Split down the middle a conundrum to riddle  
Are you as old as you feel? Or as old as the woman you feel?  
Why do I have a sense of doom? Why has life faded to gloom?  
 
Is half my life on hold? Remainder still big and bold  
Hoping my 50% share is still enjoyable, fun and fair  
Split down the middle a conundrum to riddle  
When a lover's bisexual time spent is contextual  
 
Avoid questions, use discretion everyone needs self expression  
I feel myself torn asunder and for inner peace I wonder  
Have I fought the good fight? Or just accepted my plight?  
Split down the middle a conundrum to riddle
