some days i am as cold
as the clouds at the heart
of the snowstorm
but i know, if there were
a fireplace big enough
to house your love for me
you'd build up the flames
as high as they could go
just to keep me warm
you'd spin yourself into thread,
knit yourself into a sweater and
wrap your arms around my shoulders
you'd pour yourself into a mug
and steam yourself hot so i could
drink you down to the core
you'd hold onto my hands, no matter
how cold they got, just to see the crack
of my smile as i thaw in your arms
