I wish to lie,

 just like a mirror.  

So sleek, showing glimpses of glee.

 Prompting promise, 

Prompting praise.

The more I get lost, 

The more I see.

Shadows maybe,

Sinking the skin,  

showing no sign of blinking might tell the truth. 

But the pieces of darkness I collect, 

Don’t show the shadows dyed black.  

The water really shows you fragments of itself. 

Never the truth. 

While it’s shivering in itself, 

It reminds me of myself. 

How there are fishes if clear ,

And heavy stuff sunken to disappear.

 No matter how invisible, 

They’re still there.
