Favorite Quote:
"Everyone says love hurts, but that's not true. Loneliness hurts. Rejection hurts. Losing someone hurts. Envy hurts. Everyone gets these things confused with love. But in reality, love is the only thing in this world that covers up all the pain and makes someone feel wonderful again." - unknown

Forced to choose sides
In a pointless war.
Friends against friends.
Neither party will admit
They did wrong
But both are to blame.

Fueled by anger,
The war escalates.
Ties are broken,
Alliances are formed.
Everyone involved
United but divided.

The lonely peacemaker
Can't we all
Just get along?
Move on,
Forget everything.
But it won't be
Forgotten.
Wounds can quickly heal,
But scars last forever.
