Elephant

They say elephants never forget,
are afraid of mice,
and go somewhere quiet to die.
They forgot to say they're cursed.

Actually, the curse is their memory.
I have it you see and a blessing it isn't.
Everything you say, every drooling look,
everything etched in my memory.

You say you didn't do it, yet you did.
You said such things about her did she hear?
You say them every time it's a wonder
she doesn't notice even without elephant's ear.

You have so much blame to give -
it is always their fault.
Their fault you screwed up.
Her fault you didn't hook up.

You place blame before asking why.
Assume they cheat and do not die.
Glitter and a car do not make a guy.
There's a reason you can't fly.

I've seen it all, the tragic comedy.
I need to go, can't wait to die.
Need the quiet now before my time.
