You invited me, made me your guest,
So I'll make myself at home, and be honest.
I'd been at this table for years before you came.
At one point I was even ahead in the game.
Life dealt me all the right cards, a four-leaf clover
and that one kind of girl: the hard-to-get-over.
Now loss has me hung over. It changed me oddly.
My pain is modernity leaving the body.
You were lust at first sight, but I didn't make plans,
and desire for you won't change me as a man,
But I make you laugh, and you make me smile.
If you like that foundation, we should build for a while.
I'll be strong when you're weak. When you need, I'll be there.
I'll be your shag-coated, steel-framed teddy bear.
