Loneliness in love

58

I think I always search for love in people who are nothing but cold.
Is it too much to ask for just someone to care about and hold?

Still I'll cling to your love and continue to yearn,
I fantasize about warmth so I let myself burn.

I'll gladly set myself on fire if it keeps you warm.
I'll sit here and love you through this storm.

You'll give me breadcrumbs so I'll shrink my plate.
And I'll shrink it enough to make the breadcrumbs taste great.
