The sadness took me to that place | Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm

Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm [18/02/2021]

The sadness took me to that place



On your face the glow of love 
Your lips silent 
The shape of your heart 

Pulsing through my veins
The wandering desolation
Permeating my flesh the air(of you)
Into this broken body
For a moment

I’m the oxygen
Dissipating to where

The smoke, a reflection of you 
Cool 
The tingling goosebumps
Your moment of ecstasy
You are me
Upon the death of this body
I am free.
