Reflections

I've been staring at my reflection for quite some time now

Each bone and detail shimmering in the water

Every shallow breath is hollow and deep

My hand to my cheek, caressing my jaw

I stop and I stare

The bottom of the pool is you, the perfect you, the real you

And each time I stick my hand into the water, you shift

Shift into something else

You are a beast, you cruel monster

Shifting forms, making me frustrated

How come I know that I'll never reach you, never touch you, never hold you

I know, even if I dive deep, I will not reach you

You are trapped in your own little reflected world

And I am forever stuck in mine
