If there was something to say

 If there was something to say,

wouldn't someone already have said it?

Certainly someone more eloquent than

the writer of these words.

Some dead poet

admired for centuries or at least decades

in college literature classes?

If there was something to say,

wouldn't someone have been able to say it?

Or have all the words been exhausted 

leaving us with little more

than repetitive shibboleths?

If there was something to say, 

wouldn't it have found its way from 

some broken heart?

Like mine.

If there was something to say.
