Bad Blood

How did I get caught up in the middle of this mess? I thought that you all knew that love comes first- Before money, before power, before having the last word- My heart is filled with pain enough to burst. I know your anger's justified, you think the other's wrong And both of you make valid points, but I won't choose. You need to find a path between your anger and forgiveness; A brother's love is worth too much to lose. The years between you turn your lense on life a different way The eldest child's perspective isn't what the youngest sees. One action seems justified to one, to the other immature Each of you look through the other's lenses, please. Your anger with each other is tearing me apart A hollow aching fills me as soon as I awake I've always been so proud of you for the loving care you've shown Now you're both unwilling to admit your own mistake. It's a rude awakening to realize that the family that we had Was a figment of my mind as much as real Or the anger that's between you wouldn't shake it all apart, But that loss is one we all already feel.
