Pick a Side
But when I knocked by candle light,
A friendly face denied.
The cold, the dark, this hardest night,
'I cannot pick a side.'

My advice to those who are witnessing the dissolution of a friend’s marriage; even if you count as friend both parties— choosing to not pick a side; is often picking a side.
