Empty View ~ Pogled U Prazno Poem by Jankovic Zoran

I look through you and you smile.
I'm looking at you and I don't see you.
You just smile and talk.
I look straight into your eyes
but I don't see their color.
I'm only interested in
the background of your picture
because I don't see the glow in your eyes.

It made you very uncomfortable
and brusquely ask me why I watch.
I reply to you calmly that I like you.
Our audience laughs.
Suddenly, you opened your eyes wide
and you stopped laughing.

The next day, I'm passing by
like I never saw you.
You pretend that you didn't recognize me.
We just smile and play the game
as if we were sleeping secretly,
last night in the most refined hotel.
Maybe you wanted it, but I didn't,
because, yesterday, You didn't
have any glow in your eyes.

Pogled u prazno

Gledam kroz tebe a ti se smješkaš.
Gledam u tebe a ne vidim te.
Ti se samo smješkaš i pričaš.
Gledam te pravo u oči
a ne vidim njihovu boju.
Zanima me samo pozadina tvoje slike
jer ne vidim sjaj u tvojim očima.

Postalo ti je vrlo neprijatno
i otresito me pitaš zašto te gledam.
Odgovaram ti da mi se sviđaš.
Naša publika se smije.
Neprijatno ti je.

Sutradan prolazim pored tebe
kao da te nikad nisam vidio.
Ti se praviš da me nisi prepoznala.
Samo se smješkamo i igramo igru
kao da smo sinoć tajno spavali
u najjefitnijem hotelu.
Možda si ti to htjela ali ja nisam
jer juče nisi imala sjaj u očima.
