The Elephant
The elephant in the room Is watching me, And I wonder What else he can see? No one wants to admit the reason he's there. Or that this relationship's in complete DISREPAIR. You asked me to visit, You were persistent- And here I came... Way too consistent. You've always known You can count on me, I've never said no- There's no boundary. I've let you say things This has gone on for awhile And you say things Just to hurt & beguile. And I came to tell you off Once and for good, Hoping to feel Much better understood. But today you just sit there, Not feeling well- And my mouth is kept buttoned Closed, like a clam's shell... As you sit starry eyed Just looking at me. The feeling of contempt Disseminating in me. And I know yet, I'll swallow this anger and pain, And I'll sit here with you, Till I finally leave again. And I hope...
