Gossip Song

The way the talk will start

The way the whisper wafts

On the silent breeze

The way it stabs the heart

The way it grips your common sense

And manipulates your thoughts

The way it goes behind your back

The way it still gets heard

And plagues the thoughts

The way it stabs the heart

The way they follow through

Chipping away your trust

The way you lose your self-esteem

The way you walk the halls

Depressed, eyes downcast

The way it stabs the heart

The way you wish to disappear

Never again to return

The way it can't be undone

The way you cry alone

At night, hiding well

The way it stabs the heart

The way it follows you

Forever taunting, never resting

The way it is forgotten

The way a new target appears

A lonely little girl

The way it stabs the heart

The way she starts to sniffle

And you comfort her

In a way only you know how
