Bald Words

An evocative love poem by Eliza, about empty words of the lover, exclusively for Different Truths.

You had many plans –
all for later.

And she thought
that a miracle will happen.
You told her –
your bald words,
words like checks without cover.

She was sure
it would be just like you promised.
She never dared to ask:
when will it be new?
Yet you
did not have any plans.

You knew
that you will not make change in your life!

(Translated by Artur Komoter)
