Tamara Beavin
I didn’t sleep.
Because you were on my mind,
Your words set on repeat,
I didn’t smell,
Because I didn’t want to inhale,
Last night’s intoxication,
I didn’t taste,
Because I didn’t want to swallow,
The flavour of regret,
I didn’t look,
Because I didn’t want to see,
Your perfect features,
I didn’t hear,
Because I didn’t want to listen,
To your deceiving voice,
I didn’t laugh,
Because I didn’t want to enjoy,
The time we share,
I didn’t love,
Because you left me behind,
Now you’re never on my mind,
