Just so were clear about this...I have never ever once said Frankie wasnt Darrens same as I never said any of you wernt his children! I was the one saying he was talking out of his bum when he denyd..Im not stupid or niaeve..i know exactly what he did and who he was!..All i have ever said is I dont want it rubbing in my face..thats it!...So we will just leave it at that!..you do your thing... we will do ours!..We were all told our own things by him..and thats fine we will all live in our own little worlds...he had a different relationship with each and everyone of us..its that simple...we all knew our own Darren...thats it!..all this argueing isnt going to bring him back is it?...so I wish you all a happy life Mel x

an elephant in the room

An Elephant in the Room


There's an elephant in the room.
It is large and squatting,
So it is hard to get around it.
Yet we squeeze by with "How are you?" And "I'm Fine."
And a thousand other forms of trivial chatter.

We talk about the weather.
We talk about work.
We talk about everything - except the elephant in the room.

There's an elephant in the room.
We all know it is there.
We are thinking about the elephant as we talk together.
It is constantly on our minds.

For you see, it is a very big elephant.
It has hurt us all.
But we do not talk about the elephant in the room.

Oh, please say her name.
Oh, please, say "Lisa" again.
Oh, please, let's talk about the elephant in the room.
For if we talk about her death,
Perhaps we can talk about her life?

Can I say, "Lisa" to you and not have you look away?
For if I cannot, then you are leaving me

Alone...

In a room...

With an elephant...
