Life, Love and Verse

People are probably the strangest species on the planet. Often they do not realise how gossip and rumours can hurt. The most amazing thing is, that an innocent incident normally gets tails added on each time it is told and this is just where the problem starts. The following poem proves the point.

Gossip

Whispers, glances-
It's all gossip and lies
Why should I believe them!

Gossip, rumours-
They just can't see anyone happy
He won't hurt me.

Smiles, knowing looks-
Who needs their frienship anyway
He would never go astray.

Sniggers, pity-
I don't need their sympathy
He would never deceive me.

Hints, revelations-
Troublemakers one and all
He'll never leave me.

Accusation, denials-
Do I believe all he says
or am I living a lie.
