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
