The Heart Chronicles

➳ delusional

Whenever someone asks, 

I like to explain it this way:

There is a battle outside these doors 

That has yet to be settled

Though the chaos is only a distraction for you,

A means of inconvenience 

For you are swimming in a pool of well-concealed fear

And the war is distracting your cool facade 

Minute by minute 

The still water starts to ripple

And eventually, boil 

Though you attempted to be blind to this ongoing feud 

Your mind saw right through you 

And made you drown because of fear 

Your mind made you drown because you simply couldn't handle-

Being split in two 

You couldn't handle hiding the boundless fire in you 

And so you swam in delusion until you took it too far 

Until you drowned, my dear
