Saudade
Saudade
By: Sydney Johnson
A feeling
of melancholy,
longing or
nostalgia
It seeps into
the deep crevices
of your
memory
Hitting you harder
than any other
feeling you've
ever felt
You use
your strength to
escape from the
endless nightmare
Yet, the exit
you try to take
leads you back
to the start
Every bone
in your body
shifts you into
complete shock
Shivers take a
calm stroll
down your
spine
Nerves push
themselves to
kick into
gear
Thoughts will
start to have full
blown conversations
in your head
And then,
it all comes
together in
the end
The state
of remembrance
The state
of love
The state
of happiness
The state
of your own characteristic
The state
of “saudade”
