Caught in the middle
It is where I find myself now
I love you
And I also love him
Why do you force me
Into a boxing match that I cannot win
Doesn't anyone care about me?
You say I cannot understand
The feud goes far beyond my bounds
Still I am in this collective net
Cut me free
Then you can speak of how
I will never understand
I have listened to enough
I know enough to know
I am caught in the middle
I am pulled taut
In a battle that is not my own
You dragged me in
To watch the punches fly
Sometimes I wish
I could shrivel and die
I love you both
Is that not enough,
Not okay?
I cannot chose just one
Because when it comes
Down to it
I am just a child
Stuck in the whirlwind
Of years of misplaced words
And anger I cannot agree is right
For either of you
So cut me free
And fight your own battles
And allow me
To have my own separate life
