Elephant In the Room

A lack of oxygen, a stifled room A pregnant pause, apparent gloom Bitter sighs and angry growls Upon her face "It's not my fault" His wrinkled brow, "I'm not to blame!" Past mistakes that hover now Where pride as tough as elephant skin Clinch the eyes where tears begin While those who made a lover's pledge Now teeter on the razor's edge Behind closed doors heads shake about And raging voices mutely shout Mountains, molehills, vent and spout Fingers point inside the fist No one recalls what led to this Closed minds, resolved, and won't untwist Raising questions one by one Old ghosts that dangle, freely spun A hopeless scene, what's left to gain? No matter what,....they'll show no shame What massive figure profoundly looms as large as elephants in a room?
