Poison

A simple conversation happens with a girl and
Her co-worker, and the girl thinks that
Her co-worker could be a friend.  They
Would talk often, as the co-worker would gossip 
Idly and the girl would think nothing of it.

Time passes as the girl notices a selfish
Streak, and still thinks nothing of it as the 
Co-worker would continue to laugh and gossip and
Mind everyone's business but her own.

More time passes, and the girl hears her name
A few times, planting the seeds of doubt 
About her co-worker's character.

Cool personality, sweet and easy-going,
But the two-faced side shines through--
Tarnishing a once flawless finish.

A rift grows to the point of bitterness
And disliking, as the buds of friendship
Are destroyed by the poisons of gossip,
Selfishness, and a two-faced personality.
