Overflowing, Spilling Out

Drop by drop
Filled to the surface
Crystal clear
And sparkling.
Radiance as it catches the light
The streams swirl within its confines
In delirium it is ethereal
It is happiness
And safety combined.
And then.... spilled over
Drop by drop
Removed of everything it tried to be
Full, and complete
Now half there,
Almost half gone
The optimistic sees the potential for fullness
And the pessimist realizes that nothing will be left
When trapped in the middle
Of being filled
And forgotten
The cup starts to crack
And then everything
Explodes
