Unseen ways by which i live

I am the lie
that steals your trust
but claims innocence
when accusations arise.
I am the surface of the ocean
with a calm and peaceful surface
that only covers a body
full of currents that mislead.
I am the oxygen
that can make you alive
or can choke you to deth
when i befriend carbon.
I am not what i appear.

I am the fool
who plays the part of a wiseman,
I follow stars that
lead in no direction at all.
I am the scarlet thread
that is hemmed upon your shirt,
I hold you together but fall apart
when you would need me most.
I am two faces of a coin
that belongs to one being,
This body is counterfeit
as is my smile and speech.
I am not what I appear.

Never trust me,
my lies seek an advantage;
Never dip below my surface
for the current of deceit is strong;
Don't count on my for life
because I may turn to choke you;
Never listen to my wisdom,
it is a fool's advice;
Never hold me close to your heart
for my threading will make you undone.
Never spend time on me,
time is the one currency i can not fake;
It would only be wasted on
one who would seek to gain from you.
I am not what i appear,
Listen to me, or should you?

now im alone, but not lonely like before
