Frigid Politeness

The polite conversation flows like a faltering stream

Ebbing over misplaced rocks

that remind us that we don't like each other

Just being polite and sociable

When really all we want to do

is retract into the corners and not face each other

I just don't 'get' you

I try daily to be engaging with this alien person

That throws me every time we talk

Its like we are from different planets

and speak a different tongue

Although our body language is united

In giving away our disregard of each other

Its not that I hate you

I just don't understand you

God, I have tried on so many platforms

to raise some form of common ground

But for now as will possibly be the way forever

Lets not try on something that is an impossible endeavour
