Ode to Snuggle Bear

Hey.
I know 20 years is a long time
for anything to be alive
There's been a lot of falling
down the cracks

Hey.
I know 20 years is a long time
to be suffocated underneath it all
There's been a lot of squeezing
and crying

Hey.
I know 20 years is a long time
to be this faithful to somebody
There's been a lot of ripping
at your seams

And I know it probably hurts
when I stab this needle
repeatedly into your neck
I know.
I feel like my head is falling off too
but I don't have anyone
to help me sew it back on.

Hey.
I know 20 years is a long time
but you and me
we have a long way to go
and I'll keep stitching you up
if you keep hugging me at night
as I fall asleep.
