Riddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.Riddle
I'm like an open closet
Where one makes a deposit
The deposit with interest won't inflate
Instead, I'll cause it to disintegrate
But one's transaction is still rewarded
As with energy they are afforded
My partner may go through the roof
Despite being emotion-proof
What am I?
