The Peacemaker's Apology

Peacemakers

are not peacemakers

when their desire for peace

overwhelms the harsh reality of hurt

deeply inflicted over years

one layer upon the other

I'm sorry

for words spoken

in search of harmony

when dissonance is real

adding notes will not remove

the chaos will only become deeper, wider, and

while trying to build a common ground

I heap extra dirt and debris over bleeding cuts

covered up does not mean faster relief

i'm just hiding

myself from you

closing my ears from the grinding sounds

of frustration

stuck between the gears of our love and friendship
