Analysis of the memory remains
i am lost in the midst
of my memories trail
where the ghosts have broken
free from their chains
i thought they were gone
all but forgotten
but the memory remains
where have you gone
my lost only brother
i used to see you
behind the flames
those dreams of mine
you would often visit
still the memory remains
where have they taken
the one whom i looked too
every breeze kindly whispers
as my soul cries in vain
the dark of the night
cannot hide you forever
now the memory remains
