mind (a broken record)

by Uriel Tovar

the cold
heartless spike
pierces through
my temple
spilling out
the empty thoughts
and regrets
held on to.

in a year or two it will be over anyways
in a year or two
in a year or two
in a year

the room isn't as small as
it was
when i fell into
it
it
fell into
into.

'though i can't see
you anymore
i still struggle to cut my eye
eye
i open
my iris
open with my finger nail
nail

Mind indeed is a broken record, better just to use it when needed and then put it down to rest as any tool when its overuse just becomes wasteful and abusive. As for the style, I too could do without the extra letters, though I do get your meaning :-)
