Love Poem: Overflow

Overflow

Emotions are mixed, while sanity is lost. 
You get to intake all the luxury while I struggle with the cost.
Oh the risks I would have taken to see us pull through, 
The sacrifices I made just to try and be with you.
But you fled without a word and without an explanation.
And as much as I hate the distance, I want to avoid confrontation. 
So I sit in silence while my thoughts consume me,
Trying to neglect the overflow of sorrow that lies within me. 
Times like these is when the distress likes to seep through, 
Reopening wounds, leaving me unsure of what to do.
So I smile it out, distracting myself & fooling the others. 
I shall attempt to walk with my head held high, as this gloomy cloud continues to hover.
