What to do when you're caught between two friends in conflict

My two best friends have been in a weird conflict for months where they're both complaining to me about each other but won't talk directly, and I feel like I'm being used as a messenger. I care about both of them but I'm starting to feel resentful about being put in the middle, and I don't know how to get out without making things worse.
