My bear is with me nightly, as i fall into smooth slumber.
Sometimes i dream, most times i don't, but its there through it all,
Its there when you aren't. My only friend, confidante.
For two years I've had it, as it was two years ago you left.
Its slowly falling apart, i tried to fix it, but to no avail.
with every mend, there's another tear.
maybe, to save it, its best that i just put it away forever.
Push it out of remembrance so that its well being is preserved.

maybe, just maybe.

I really like the meaning behind this poem, it is very thoughtproviking. The thought of knowing the more you latch onto a memory, a teddy bear, the more it wears, fades, and tears. Sometimes we want to pretend it wouldn't have gotten worse, and that it should stay perfect, but that isn't we can do :) Great job, I can't wait to read some more of your work ;)
