Not Compatible

Their voices are so loud
It's hard to shut them out
They argue and complain
They criticise each other names
I hate it when they fight
It makes me feel hurt inside
But there's nothing I can do
But to listen as their arguments falls through

I can never understand
Their hypocritical actions
They can be the best of friends today
By tomorrow it's a verbal war of the predator and the prey
I'm too scared to make a move
As they continue to show what they both can prove
I can only run and hide in my room
And if I cry it wouldn't be too soon

I wish I could just pack up and go
But I would be lost if I did so
The tense atmosphere that they generate is so very suffocating
My eyes grows wild at times
For the fear of another altercation is unrelenting
I know I'm not the only one that feels the pressure
I'm just the only one that just can't keep it together

Still, there's an escape for me during the week
Off I go into the world to fulfil my goals and to find the purpose I seek
But by night I have to return
To the two who can make their words burn
So when I see them laughing with one another
I only look away and roll my eyes
For I know later on
They'll be at it once again
It's the never ending cycle of their lives
