I Know I Am Poem by Matthew Boisjolie

I know you’re strong I know you’re weak I know your deepest secrets The ones you couldn’t keep I know your past And I am your future I am hope, I am love I’m the one you’ve been dreaming of I am torn and tattered You are broken and alone You are all that ever mattered I am all you’ve ever known I am the ghost in the mirror The one with the tear in his eye I love you not, is his only fear You are his only reason to cry I am the shadows on your ceiling The ones mistaken for the trees I am your one and only feeling I am the protector of your sleep I know that you still miss me I am the pictures on your walls I know that you can live without me I am now just your lost cause
