Our Dysfunctional Relationship

It's an awkward romance.  You give me what I want, what I need.  But I always want more.  Sometimes, I have such a strong craving for you, it's unbearable.  I get physically sick, dizzy, spaced out.  Then, when I get too much of you, I have the same symptoms.
Sometimes I spend so much time with you that afterward I am hungover, sick, and heartbroken. 
Sometimes you're hot, sometimes you're cold.  You are always indifferent.  You could be with me, you could be with anybody else.  But I don't care. 
Sometimes I work so hard for you, I dress you up, shower you with trinkets and decorations.  Sometimes you return the favor, you warm me, comfort me. 
Some romantic relationships follow a natural progression, leading to marriage and a growing family.  Oh, you've given me growth, and plenty of it. 
I spend half my time loving you and half of it hating your existence.  I throw you out, you come back. 
Damn you food, can't we just be friends?
