Missing the Point

inspired by Lewis contest Sounds casual and shallow Distracting the peripheral; Reserved,distant and unreciprocal. We say hello but do not talk Never revealing what we feel, Recserved,remote and unreal; Hearing but never listening. We say hello but never talk. Hastily in a hurry Missed unsaid worry; Intimacy stays untried. We say hello but never talk Missing meaningful content And unable to relate; Fearing to share or participate. We say hello but do notb talk. Heart felt feelings are witheld Thoughts we screte and suppress; Avoinding real acquaintance we say hello but do not talk
