I Know Nothing

I know that you can see me as nothing but the best. I know that you will lift my heart and carry me to rest. I know my world is horrible, devoid of endless bliss. I know my brothers come with me and no one will be missed. I know I've dreamt that we were one before I came to pass. I know my dream will live again; I know we'll always last. I know that I can never be what you won't have me be. This lesson I have yet to learn is all that's left of me.
