Gossip has been likened

To murder, stated cold as truth.

What can a deceased girl say

To convince you otherwise?

One who has been stabbed in the back,

With unholy curse, goes against law

Of both religion and country,

Can she find another

Whose identity is but a masquerade,

Through whom she can hold forth

In hidden guise, yet plain?

Would you believe the tale when wrought iron

Encloses her soul, darkened by

Hatred hidden behind stated love,

Badly and yet held true by all others, fools?

She cannot defend nor defeat

Though defeat of hatred,

So cleverly rused is as impossible

as victory won from

A gargoyle of stone disguised,

by angels tears.
