If rumors darken who I am,
Trust them, and let go my hand.
No need for me to explain,
If trust is fragile, built on sand.

Let whispers guide your heart away,
No words from me will make you stay.
Believe the shadows, leave me be,
If doubt's enough to set you free.

For trust, once questioned, weak and frail,
Needs no defense, no long detail.
So heed the rumors, let them show,
And from my side, feel free to go.
