If only tears could bring you back

If only tears could bring you back

Burning memories waft past me

Like whirling flakes of snow

Of a blessed, idyllic time

Not so long ago

Of you and I

Once innocent and free

We used to foolishly believe

That was what we'd always be

Then you were gone

Impossible to find

Locked and shackled

In the cages of your mind

The future without you

Appears lonely and black

Brother, my brother

If only tears could bring you back
