Echoes and Whispers


Echoes and Whispers

There are things which we do not speak of;
Mere echoes of our past troubles and heartaches.
Yet these are the thoughts which consume our days,
Feeding the speculations in one’s mind,
Regardless of their truth or not,
Festering in your soul, smothering whatever
Good faith you were once able to extend.
Bad faith and suspicion now abounds;
Where did it start? Where did it come from?
Or has it always been there?
Gnawing at you, the voices you hear inside your head,
Whispering malice and falsehoods.
And in a flash of anger, a slip of an unguarded moment,
Gone are the usual niceties and all are revealed
For who they really are.
And so it seems that comfort and convenience supercedes all,
Becoming but reflections of greed and avarice.
