Whispers

Whispers grew louder
it was getting unbearable
So I added a few more lies
now nothing is believable

Gossip was reaching fever pitch
everyone was having a field day
So I proved the lie I had added wrong
and then they did not know what to say

A can of worms, I claimed I could set free
Now they shudder when they sleep
Because the ones who gossip tend to have
their own dirty secrets, dark and deep
