The Middle

In the middle is where I sit
But I never wished to be here
For getting involved somewhere I shouldn't
Has been my greatest fear

In the middle is where I sit
A barrier, a divide
All because two selfish people
Cannot make up their minds

In the middle is where I sit
Though it is not my place to be
But once you've gotten stuck
It becomes terribly hard to leave

In the middle is where I sit
And, to her, I apologize
For, with anything, there really should be
Simply a left side and a right

In the middle is where I sit
The ominous 'in between'
The place just at the edge
Hanging on and breaking free

In the middle is where I sit
Though I have tried my best to stay away
Forgive me, for I did not know
How quickly her heart would break

In the middle is where I sit
Just between the two of them
Praying I won't break their world
But wishing just for him
