Should I Cry

The flame that lit my heart,
And then love, faint in death below.
Their voices no longer heard.
~ should I cry?

Yet, a brave despair has arrived.
Recurring death of trust,
Embittered. Circumscribed alone.
~ should I cry?

Tried to revive within me
The symphony of beautiful memories,
A song of an innocent soul. Failed.
~ should I cry?

...should I?

Cry, if you must. But, move forward. Find a new reason to smile within yourself. Just take it one day at a time, one heartbeat at a time. Powerful lines written here, Shirley.
