Poetry: Lies

by Michele Terboss

Created on: June 06, 2009

You think it's all in humor when you whisper to your friend.
That girl did this with so and so, isn't she so bad?
When you sit there gaily amongst all the lies..
Never realizing you're the cause of the tears slipping from her eyes.
There's no reason for all this discriminating.
In turn, she's latched onto hating.
A peaceful girl twisted into misery.
She's so full of possibility,
but she can't move past the rumors quickly spreading.
She has never wronged anyone,
Yet, due to your words she's surrounded by no one.
All because you thought it was fun.
You could've let it go.
You have your own life to lead,
Give that girl room to breathe.
Go look at your own reflection.
It's a shame it won't mirror all that deception.
