Little White Lies

Why must people torment one another with rumors and lies?
Making people believe their little white lies
As they tell everyone they know.
Ruining that persons’ life and their reputation as they laugh at what they have done.
People will never get along and that’s the truth.
Finding that perfect some one is like a curse to me.
Rumors start and they leave, leaving me alone in the dark once more.
How can I make people see that they don’t have to believe the things they hear?
But are these lines I speak the truth:
I promise you I will always stay true to only you.
But yet rumors and lies surface once more going after the name they seek revenge for.

Granted they're hard to overcome, but chin up, keep the faith.
