Rumors Can Kill
22 August, 2003
Author: ShyHeart
Rumors feed, off, someone's lie
Soon, it spreads, and destroys lives,
Consumes the heart, that once, had been in love with me
How can it be, that you, believe-,
What you hear, but, not, what you see?
The heart, can be a finger,
Pressed, upon the trigger
Anger, pain, then, you pull and fire-,
A beating heart is stopped, forever
Murdered by a rumor, it's love, that dies
Murdered by someone's, innocent, white lie
Spoken in such confidence, no intention, to cause, offense-,
Just, something, that, someone heard-,
Then, they share it with you, their secret, white lie-,
Your heart, upon the trigger, you pull the hammer back
Because of love & rumor, you touch the trigger, and two, hearts die..,
Rumors feed, off someone's lie
Soon, it spreads, and destroys lives,
Consumes the heart, that once, loved me-,
How can it be, that you, believe-,
What you hear, but, not, what you See?

Thanks for you comment, be strong and know that strength, is found within yourself, should someone want what you have, but can not have it, then they will try to destroy it. Just a logical thought, I think, and hope you think about it. MartinV |

Sometimes, even our own hearts, tell us, things, that are not true, yet, if, want the truth, with courage, we no where to go. Thank You, MartinV |
| Meridian (205.188.116.200) -- Friday, July 16 2004, 07:57 pm You know, Martin, I played a game with my DECA class, when I was in HS, and it was like a rumor game.... The 1st person told somebody something in the ear, and that rumor had to go around the whole class.... And of course, when it got to the last person, it wasn't the same story, that the 1st person started out with.... Some people have to be careful when spreading rumors, because like you said, it could destroy peoples' reputations, their lives.... I saw on television one time, about how some people committed suicide, because of a rumor..... Very well said Martin V! I agree wholeheartedly! Smiles, Meridian |
