POETRY
If You Only Knew
โ POEM by Derviลกa Grabus ฤolakoviฤ
(Translated from Bosnian)
If you only knew how hard itโs for me,
When I donโt see you only for one night,
Desolation takes hold of me; abodes in my soul,
Tell me then why couldnโt you come?
My pillow is wet with tears,
I get scared that I would lose you.
And you are just not recognized,
I know you love me, too.
If you only knew how I feel,
When you donโt call me,
When I donโt hear your voice,
Then everything around me becomes hushed,
Maybe itโs my fault; I judge myself.
I am entirely empty hearted and untenanted soul,
Everything around me seems to gloss.
Iโm just waiting for you to give me your hand,
And nothing else comes to mind.
โฆ.
