All I have seen
All I have heard
All I have felt
As a participant
And as a by-stander

The arguements
The verbal back and forth
Of indecisive people
Trying to be "mature"
In this immature world

Waking up admittedly,
Willing to forgive
To kiss and make-up
And eventually, inevitably
To fight soon after

Deciding to stop
Yet constantly pondering
Wondering about each other
Hoping they are also in pain
Hoping they feel guilt or remorse

Pretending to be strong
Saying "I will survive"
But as you know
From years of experience
Words do not fix things

Constantly creating stories
Hearing lies, formulating rebuttals
Retaliating with lies of our own
Making issues with no backing
Carelessly using other people's names

Unable to see ourselves
As utterly selfish
And completely immature
Sad and pathetic
Promising and compromising
