Elephant In the Room

have you ever heard a song that all you can do is cry along as the sadness of the sound overwhelms... not even really sure it's true did it do to you what it intended to rounding up the elephant in the room with a voice that cut's the diamonds edge as what was said needed to be said screaming what most of us whisper 3:39 with no time left if he misses her then so do i memories that seldom die still some things to laugh about dig deep enough and you will find that out never once did i catch her name even if i did nothing much would change how we go out no one gets to choose the elephant in the room i've heard this song a dozen times why this time did it make me cry guess this time it brought along some friends of mine long gone after all after all of this whose to say how long we have and with what we have what will we do with the elephant in the room This poem refers to the song "Elephant" by Jason Isbell, A song that often brings tears.... It also follows along to the tune.
