Nothing To Say
A young man's tears, a fight gone wrong,
A father screams all night longs,
But the boy didn't speak,
(There was nothing to say),
A teenager's anger, bottled so tight,
A father's rage, a fearsome sight,
But the boy didn't speak,
(There was nothing to say),
A young man stands with a ring,
A father sits as wedding bells sing,
But the boy didn't speak,
(There was nothing to say),
A mother's death, an old man's tears,
A man aged beyond his years,
But the boy didn't speak,
(There was nothing to say),
A new baby is born, a new father is made,
A grandfather sits, alone in the shade,
But the boy didn't speak,
(There was nothing to say),
A father walks, his son in tow,
Through the stones, row by row,
But the boy didn't speak,
(There was so much to say).

Poetry can mean something different to everyone, and I don't wish to cheapen the piece by adding an arbitrary meaning to it. However, to me, this poem speaks of regrets created out of anger and fear.
Hopefully you enjoy!
