Lingering memories:
The phantom feelings
Of a time gone by.
Fingers struggling
To grasp what
No longer exists.
I can still feel
The same sensations
That I felt before,
But, when I
Open up my eyes,
It is gone.
And so my heart
Aches for what
Is no more.
How can I miss
Something so
Desperately
That I have
Never known?
Saudade is a Portuguese word for the feeling or longing for something that is absent.
