Whispers,
Stopping while approached,
As if hidden perfectly from all.
Shakes of heads, sneaky glances.
Spreading like a plague,
One, two, four, one hundred.
Glances of disapproval,
Friends that pull away.
Invisible in the air,
Yet stronger than any.
Spreading, spreading, spreading,
Twisting, twisting, twisting.
Unchangeable, unrepairable.
Apologies given, ingenuine or not.
Unchangeable, unrepairable.
Shakes of heads, what’s only left:
“It was not me.”
