Tomb Raider

Harley C. Slater 1990 (Utica)

Free verse
Woke up stuck in my head again
Lying in bed with you on my mind
Caught me off guard like it does every time
Feels like glass shards are stabbing at my heart
Memories of the times things were feeling good
Talking to you, I never felt more truly understood
Feeling sad, feeling mad, nothing about this feels any good
Spiraling downward, consumed thinking about all the things
I know I really shouldn't. Ruminating becomes perseverating
My mind becomes my tomb, and now you're inside raiding it
