You know me better



You Know me better
 ===============
 I left a note
 On my bed post
 Said not to repeat
 Yesterday mistake !
When I tend to do
 When I come to you
 I see only the good
 Selective memory

I  can not forget you my life
 You are my divine breathe
 You teach me how to live
 And How to die in  belief

 I thank you for all
 For what I did not ask even

 You know me too well
 Better than I know myself

 If I would lie
 You will know it
 Who else knows me
 Better than myself

 All I can do is
 To let you use me
 As best as you can
