Ugliest Verses Poem by Jankovic Zoran

You were afraid I would
write the ugliest verses.
You said there was something that,
about you, I don't need to know.

You felt the fear that words
would tormented the poem.
You are in bullet letters
kill an impossible dream.

You were afraid I would
write the ugliest verses
as if I'm going to take away
your breath of the time
which has long passed.

You were choked the truth with fear
but you didn't know that life,
like letters on paper,
leaving a trace.

You didn't feel that, for a long time,
the truth, about you, I know.

Najružniji stihovi

Bojala si se da ću ti
napisati najružnije stihove.
Rekla si da ima nešto što,
o tebi, ne treba da znam.

Osjećala si strah da ti
riječi ne namuče pjesmu.
Olovnim slovima si
ubila neostvariv san.

Bojala si se da ću ti
napisati najružnije stihove
kao da ću ti oduzeti dah
vremena koje odavno prošlo.

Strahom si gušila istinu
ali nisi znala da život,
kao slova na papiru,
ostavlja za sobom trag.

Nisi znala da istinu
o tebi, već dugo, znam.
