A battle rages
Not on a battlefield
No guns, no swords
No fights
Only words
A battle rages
No hatred
Nor anger
Only jealousy
And cold envy
A battle rages
No generals
Nor soldiers
Hearts getting
Colder and colder
Two backs turned
One hurt
One scorned
A battle rages
Not on a battlefield
But in the mind
No enemies nor allies
But a frendship
Left behind
