Saudade

I reminisce, emptiness in each note
Her voice lingering: a captivating tone
The melody: once unknown
Haunted by a ghost who found a more favorable host
Is it you or the thought of you?
A longing for something old, yet new
It tears me apart
Incomplete: with a wound at heart
An ocean divides incipient affection
Absence increased, she became a recollection
Budding infatuation uprooted abloom
Flourishing elation grew into gloom
In vacancy consumed
Reliving the past, missteps in moments passed
Haunted by a ghost who found a more favorable host
Is it you or the thought of you?
A longing for something old, yet new
It tears me apart
Incomplete: with a wound at heart
