This is the hardest riddle I've ever created so far. If you can solve it I'd say you're really good. Here goes...

Half of a common germ,
Half of a yellow food.
Half of a longer month,
Half of a plane of wood.

This thing has two halves too,
One half as heavy as the other.
Tis' an object used to
Part one's life asunder.

What on earth am I talking about?

(In reply to No idea. by John)

I had the same words presented as in John's post, with
a few more.  I will list those in hopes that one could help: 

Half of a common germ...salmonella, amoeba, mildew,...

Half of a yellow food...squash, hominy, okra, yolk,
 carrot (though orange in color, it is classified as
  a yellow vegetable),...

Half of a plane of wood...veneer, deck, paneling, (forest?),...

Though one could expect the words to be evenly divisible,
it may not necessarily be so. So one may need to increase
their list:

Half of a yellow food...straw, hay, lemon, pineapple,...

Half of a longer month...January, March, May, October

Half of a plane of wood...parquet, board, plank,...

The answer escapes me right now, too.
