Polysemy
I think we both enjoy the comfort of shade,
As we hide behind the allegories and euphemisms
That act as an umbrella,
Protecting us from the other's tears.
We've developed a love of polysemy
That we thoroughly act upon
With our miscellaneous texts and phone calls and facial expressions.
We don't enjoy real conversation about real mundane topics.
We don't enjoy discussing things that truly matter.
It takes an effort that I can't give and you, for some reason, don't want to.
