You know the phrase

I love him to pieces. You 
Know that feeling. You've
Said it before. Now, I also
Say, "I love him in pieces."
As he falls away, stumbles
In his mind, loses his way.
Reasoning is gone, his and
Mine; I, too, am less rational
I, too, am lost or losing my
Path forward. I, too, am so
Emotional that I can cry in 
An instant, flare up in anger
At what I can’t fix or change.
Is there a purpose, of course,
I see it in caring for him, us,
Holding on so he doesn’t slip
Away. I love him to pieces.
