Extending The Olive Branch

I have started a war
twisting in tormenting water
a passive aggressive battle
blood shed between mother and daughter

We are at war
doors like gunshots
eyes like bowling balls
heart suffocated by hate-induced blood clots 

I hate this war
tears cascade down
red-splotched cheeks
it was never worth it, I realize only now

End the war
extend a black, designer, size 8 olive branch
a small gesture of peace

Enemy, General, MOM. Give me a chance.
