Carried upon woefully wicked wailing winds,
they fly without restraint.

Lies.

Susceptible ears listen to the falsehoods,
as loose lipped tongues wag
till Lady Truth
cries.  

Quietly hiding inside the self-cocooned heart,
the one besmirched is torn apart,
and dies.

Lies kill.

How very true, Kacy.  Makes me wonder about the inspiration for this.  Well worded...

Don't know  who is gossiping, but that is wh I keep to myself now, as an adult, otherwise I feel like I am in high school and that is not where I would like to be.

You dont know is being said but you have a good idea as to the mouth and the receipient.

We call them the "News of the World" in England and the problem is they feel they have power in lies the person will never hear about and then fear that they have been found out.

They may hurt but they shortened their lives and enjoyment of life as people walk away from them leaving a self insulating cliche in atrophy.

I like...they certainly can dull an otherwise bright day when I let them.

Live like it's your last day...
Dance like nobody's watching...
Love like you've never been hurt...
