I'm Just A Lonely Girl

I’m just a lonely girl
Searching through all these drawers…
A sweater I seek
To keep in all the heat;
Wrap around my soul
Protect me from cold.
Enveloping kindness is what I need,
As the chill in me begins to be seen;
A search for warmth to melt the old…
A search for comfort
To warm thy soul…
