Back Breaking

What will happen to them?
Will it ever end?
Sometimes I think maybe.
But then tempers flare.
Feelings are hurt and hearts are broken again.
And I become afraid.
Afraid that this will be the straw that broke the camels back.
Because every argument climaxes.
But so far they have stopped before the breaking point.
And I tell myself that I will be mature enough to understand.
I tell myself that if that day ever came, I would take it like an adult.
But at the same time I try to convince myself that it could never happen.
Then another argument ensues.
Both of them have their faults.
I am privy to almost every fight.
Sometimes I become to angry with one or the other.
Because they are so obviously wrong that I wish I could scream at them.
But neither of them want to admit that they are both contributing to the problem.
And all I can do is sit quietly and wait for the storm to pass.
And hope they never reach the point of breaking the camels back.
