I know, I am

by Johnny Mac

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 am 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
