Down a Storm Drain

I fear if this piece of glass
         Hanging on end wall
      Shows who lies beneath my skin
        Her outlets,words that drop from my curved lips
     Or the words that she hides
       Compressing them beneath tied tongue
   Stares, through which she sees a world
       In her own perspective
    Keeps her contemplations beneath my  fleshy layers
      Some dying in flick of moment
   And some expanding to the universe outside
      I always walk the line
   Of fear and false ego
      If you see the bitter water
    Maybe you'll hate standing
       Besides my eclipsed stream
    As it slowly engulfs 
        In shadowed mouth of it's darkness
     Whoever close to her
        The known alien who started staying from eons
      The time unknown to me
         I know,she cares not for anyone
     Just I and myself
         Every selfish emotion it hides
      Beneath folds with tiniest pores
          Struggling forever for it's freedom
      I wish I could abandon it in the storm drain
          When monsoon clouds decide to come down
      Failing to bear it's own weight of tears
