Saudade: S01e03

Saudade

At night I lay awake to watch the 12 o'clock show. 
It's not that I want to, my brain is conditioned to do so. 

As the audio and visual begin to play, 
A technicolour title appears; Saudade 

From 12 to 2, the show usually runs. 
Its episodes seem to be in pieces and shards. 

As I struggle to recollect and grasp its content, 
a drama begins to unfold, one of love and contempt. 

Sometimes the show stretches on, from 3, to 5 
Sometimes it goes on for an entire night.

As I come to the part where he calls me, "mine" 
I find my self constantly pressing: 
Rewind
Rewind 
Rewind

How the show ended, I'm not clear,
but the season finale always gets me to tears.
