Beware the awkwardness you create,

Not all see the dying of hate,

When seen, tears will flow.

    There are definitely times when it's good to bury the hatchet. And sometimes it doesn't even have to be in the back!

    This is quite opposite of the embarrassment in my opinion, but still a great entry to the challenge!
