Emotions As Cash

"Can you consider emotions, As a possession Like shoes or a coat, Bike or a boat Can we claim what we cannot see, I’m sorry you just have to believe Some emotions however we can see, Like those exposed on your shirt sleeve Happy, sad, perturbed or irritated, The end of something you initiated Can we accrue emotions like cash, Impressing friends with our stash Or are they kept in the back of our closet, Susceptible to forget Their feelings intent, In hindsight’s lament Emotions are not tactile, But they make hearts fragile You can sense their loss, If you’ve ever been double crossed Or invested them too much, Elsewhere and lost touch Best to keep them stable, Recognizing if you are able Emotions can’t be held very tight, For they need to take flight Unencumbered with arms wide open, No truer words have been spoken For emotions need to be free to run the gamut, Understanding that’s life and it’s gambit"
