I drowned my teddy bear

He absorbed many of my tears.
He comforted me through nightmares and fears.

He was my friend.
He always seemed to understand.

He listened when I told him a secret.
He always kept it.

He kept everything safe with him,
He helped me through dark times when the light was dim.

He may not have been a living thing but he was always there when everyone else disapeared,
When I confided in him it was as if the fog of negative thoughts almost cleared.


I feared the judgements I would recieve if they knew my only friend was a stuffed bear,
All the things I feared started to become real like I was living in my nightmare.

One day we both started to fall apart,
Maybe it was because I was being pierced by the pieces of my broken heart.

He was worn down his stuffing started seeping through his soft fur and his eye was hanging on by a thread,
My tears must have drowned him; I should've cried into my pillow instead.

I don't know what happened to my teddy but wherever he is I hope he has become someone elses forever friend,
He desereves a love without end.
