Two sides
to every story
One party
strives for glory
Emotional blackmail
confuses the heart
Constant control
keeps you apart
Deceit and lies
become the heroes
Empathy and love
totaling zero
The battle is short
one side victorious
But life is long
people are curious
Another scenario
begins to unfold
The true story
finally told
Flash Fiction - Each Friday, I compose a short story of 55 words - no more, no less. If you would like to join in the fun and games... post your story and report to the boss G-MAN. If you're not interested in contributing a story, feel free to read the other entries. I'm sure any comments you have would be appreciated.
Happy reading and writing!

OH Babe !!!!!!
ReplyDeletePeople may say I am bias when I comment because of the love I have for you but they know not who we really are nor what we really have been through and still have to go through.
This is truly a beautiful summary of what we have been through. love you babe!
NOW THAT! Is a 55 word comment!
It's excellent. I can't help it right now to read into this....politics. It could be the two parties as they continue to battle what's right for our country. Even after the one side wins. Sorry, I know it's not meant to be that way, but with all this tea party stuff yesterday on the news and in the cities around me, I guess I'm still in the mode.
ReplyDeleteLoved your 55.
Sunrise in the City ---as always, scroll down below my Show n Tell. Hope you're having a terrific Friday!!!

ReplyDeleteyou know...in any truly engaging relationship there will be conflict...its when you make the two more important than the one that that becomes ok...b/c you know you will survive. nice 55.

ReplyDeleteThanks to everyone for your comments. I love it when I write something very personal to me which others read and relate to in a different way. Way cool :)
What a perfect description of a quarrel between two people. It is hard to see the other side. I often remind myself that we are all the center of our own universe.
ReplyDeleteMy 55 is up here.
Patti - You are quite right.
