Teddy Bear

by StandStill   Nov 28, 2008


I woke up one morning and realized you don't want me. You grew up awfully fast. I wish I had taken more time to love every little piece of you because now you're moving on faster and faster away from me. Pretty soon, you'll be a little speck of dust on a horizon in my memory. And that scares me, friend. You're supposed to need me. I'm your teddy bear. Remember when you got me for a Christmas present a year ago? I remember. I came out of the box and you clung to me. I was awake, then. That was when I feel like my life began. No moment before that.

I didn't belong before I belonged to you. You took me everywhere, through the playground and the dark basement. You held tight to me in the dark. And I know my head's full of fluff, but I can tell. I can just tell that you're growing older and pretty soon, I'll fall under the bed with all the other toys.

I don't really wanna die that way..

    I loved this poem what else can be sad its a fantastic poem, its incredible sad but you can different meanings from that, the teddy bear can be a metaphor for falling out of love and wanting other things and thats what makes it so incredible emotional.

    i know that you probally wrote the poem in this way to show that it is a thought a mind set for the teddy but forming it in a more structure basis may make it an easier read.

    some of the lined the favoured the most where;
    I didn't belong before I belonged to you
    And I know my head's full of fluff, but I can tell

    whoever not to be to critical about the poem the things in which i didn't like about apart from the structure where the dark basement its out of place i'd try teh closet under the stairs or something like that something which give sit a childhood theme and also i think it should be christmas years ago, so there would be more love and connection shown between the child and teddy.

    however very good poem well done
