An evocative woman-centric poem, by Eliza, exclusively for Different Truths.
She flashed in your life
like a point from everyday life.
Why did you delude her?
You pretended to be a diamond,
when you’re just a shard
that hurts.
You’re not a diamond,
an amber,
not even a shard.
You’re a rock!
(Translated by Artur Komoter)
