Will You Sing Again?

I had recently written a new song.
Since I won't be able to present at the upcoming Songcraft session on 18 July, so am posting it here first.

Here are the lyrics:

Is it solitude you seek?
Is it comfort to be?
Why the darkness
In the voiceless pit?

Is that silence I hear,
A grief stifled
Echoing the vacuum
Of a broken heart.

Chorus (x2):
Never the joy again
Never the song again
Only enclosed by dim grey,
Forever dumb and weighed.

Closing:
Will you sing again?

Background:
I actually wrote the lyrics as a poem for a poetry workshop I did as an elective in my Uni days. So recently, while trying to get some inspiration, went to dig up the folio and this was a poem I could put a tune to.

It's about someone who has lost a loved one and is grieving over it. The “voiceless pit” is the heart. It is silent in emptiness, in a world of its own. The pain it feels can’t be expressed. Will the heart ever be alive and sing again?

If I recalled correctly, I actually wrote this like God was actually counselling this person and closes with asking the person's heart to sing again.

PS: With the recent events, I wish to dedicate this song to my friend who's heartbroken.
