When Day Becomes Night: A Poem by Snežana Šolkotović

You left me without an explanation

The road led you from me,

there was not even a word of apology

only silence and a heavy burden.

Then day became night

The silence that breaks the heart,

the smile disappeared,

helplessness conquered me

they say that’s how they come about

life shipwrecks.

Then day became night,

A road without a goal,

it was necessary to go further

to understand what I lost…
