Saigon

So many words
Half words
Our apartment
A piece of Saigon
Said goodbye to me
In the mirror with lipstick

Go my star
Illuminating
All this city
Like a sky
Of neon light

Its brightness silences
All sound
Sometimes
You walk around
Playing at surrendering
Dreaming to not sleep

And almost always
I think about leaving you
And as soon as you arrive
I forget about myself

Night has fallen!
I look at the sky
And see how good it is
To see the stars
In the darkness
I hope you come back
To Saigon
