When some good mates fall out only loathing lives on <br />And all respect and trust between old friends is gone <br />Hate can be love turned upside down it is said <br />And only resentment lives on when the friendship is dead, <br />It is so often said two wrongs don't make a right <br />And the soul can be dark when it is starved of light <br />There is a huge fallout when big egos collide <br />And damage has been done to a dented pride, <br />The unforgiving are weak and the forgiving are strong <br />And forgiveness in the hearts of the humble belong, <br />There never was friendship where resentment now live <br />As true friends they can always forget and forgive <br />Yet when some good mates fall out only hatred remain <br />And they never speak to each other again.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-some-good-mates-fall-out/
