Ocean of Emotions

Drive into the ocean
of my emotions.
Tuck in, like a Sunday roast,
gorged and full; you are satisfied.

I resemble Christmas Day,
gifts a dozen, wrapped elegantly—
silver and red, ribbons and bows.
I keep giving and giving and giving.

A smile delicately laced across my face,
you never question the silver plate,
abundant with treasure;
you take and take and take.
