Teddy

Does it matter anymore,

That I tried to lock to door,

To keep you from using me

Again and again.

-

I was a teddy bear,

Put on the shelf,

Taken out whenever you needed a hug and support,

Then quickly put back again.

-

That’s all I am, to you

To anyone

The support

The last chance giver

A thing.

-

I was always there for you,

But never there for me,

And so, I suffered greatly when

Reality shook my hand,

Said, “How do you do?”

And gave me a black eye.

-

And you laughed.

Told Teddy not to mess where she shouldn’t,

And went on with your life,

While I collected dust,

-

Watching.

And waiting.

For you to screw up

Again

-

While the sky cried for me,

Because everyone knows

A toy cannot feel.

It's okay to feel crappy every once in a while- when you just can't stand anything, everything, and you need to lay down and watch the snow fall on your nose.

and then you realize snow was naught but an illusion.
