WHISPERS
In the kingdom of
whispers, a tale began,
Of a love entangled in
a web, a forbidden plan,
The gossip mill whirred
with a sinister delight,
As rumors took flight,
in the stillness of the night.
A couple, adored by the
public eye,
Caught in a storm,
under scrutiny's sky,
A beautiful best
friend, a twist of fate,
Betrayal and lust, a
narrative they create.
The broken family, a
tragic scene,
In the spotlight's
glare, where secrets convene,
Gossipmongers relished
the scandalous affair,
Embellishing tales with
a devilish flair.
Social media, the
herald of the news,
Spreading the whispers,
fanning the blues,
Allegations of
cheating, a nightmare profound,
Tearing marriages,
breaking families around.
For the involved, a
crisis of catastrophic measure,
No room for privacy,
under constant pressure,
Every word, every deed,
analyzed and dissected,
In the unforgiving gaze
of the public, reflected.
The accused, unable to
confront in peace,
In the storm of
speculation, their struggles increase,
The rumors vague, a
torment undefined,
A trio ensnared in the
web of the gossip grind.
Hearsay danced on the
wind, a troubling tune,
A friendship shattered,
under the gossip moon,
The deeper the bond,
the bitter the hurt,
A rift formed, emotions
in the dirt.
No details to deny,
just shadows to face,
In the court of public
opinion, they must embrace,
Social media, a
breeding ground for the storm,
As followers latched
on, a lifebelt in the swarm.
Advice and opinions, a
chaotic sea,
Drowning in views, no
clear path to see,
A small whisper, a
roaring torrent it became,
Speculation raged,
fueled by the rumor's flame.
Once the friendship
crumbled, irreversibly torn,
The rumor mill hungered
for more to be borne,
Facts ground into
powder, a relentless endeavor,
In all the gardens and
homes, whispers echoed forever.
