The Other Side

Here's my contribution to One Shot.








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

Have a great day/night
Love KB

  12. Very true.Always two sides of a story.Sometimes truth unfolds ,sometimes it doesn't.But the story never ends till the story is completely told.
