Below Ground

I'm buried underneath the ground
I lay on my back with knives stabbing into my heart
My vision clouded in the dark.
Memories skipping like a damaged VHS tape.
My world is different than yours
You are living above ground
Walking over me,
I exist
But not even in the slightest.
Dark thorns grow out of my skin
My heart skips a beat
I try harder to push above the surface
I touch
I reach
My hands clutches you
but it never connects.
