My Soul's Biggest Regret

Now out embracing the streets, him I could not save
There is one memory I won't forget
When you live free, you die hard, don't look back
Applied to my brother, this line is said

There is one memory I won't forget
Another mother had another son
Applied to my brother, this line is said
This son had to hover for sanities sake

Deeply stabbed, my brother fell to his doom
There is one memory I won't forget
Darkness filled his soul, hatred consumed him
Applied to my brother, this line is said

There is one memory I won't forget
A curse fell over him, a curse of pain
Applied to my brother, this line is said
His loving gruff face I took in my hands

Clinging sad scared hands held onto my arms
This is one memory I won't forget
Tears of pain and personal regret flowed
Applied to my brother, this line is said

There is one memory I won't forget
Watching a neglected man walk away
Applied to my brother, this line is said
Leaving his footprint on people's hearts

People walked all over and away from this man
This is one memory I won't forget
He finally got sick and jumped away
Applied to my brother this line is said

There is one memory I won't forget
A brother embraced a small young girl
Applied to my brother, this line is said
Now out embracing the streets, him I could not save
