Final Departure

Last night my teddy bear left me again

His fluff fading into memory

No matter how much I try to hold on

No matter how much I try to call him

No matter how much I try to find

Where my teddy bear went?

Happened in my sleep

Packed his things with a stitched

Smile on his face, with a single tear

Streaking down his face,

Poor baby, poor love

But, he didn't turn back this time

This time, he's leaving me for real

He's leaving us for real

Ignoring my pleas and my tears

Ignoring his pups, named Guilt and Pain

Regretted bringing them over, but quickly muffles them

Pushing music in his ears, and straightening his little tie

My little teddy bear went over to his friends

The ones who always seem to bring a smile on his face

A smile that doesn't need to be stitched down so hard

And although I can't help but look at him

Although I can't help but want to hug him again

To just inhale his scent again that puts me at ease at night

He still pushes me away,

He still doesn't look at me anymore

So, when I woke up that night,

Expecting to see my teddy bear next to me

Expecting to see him come back to me

Expecting to see jus something that tells me

That he still exists...

He wasn't

But that's okay, for he didn't belong here

Chained up to a needy no-good child

My teddy bear deserved to be free

With someone that he wouldn't need to stitch up his face..

So instead of drowning myself in tears

I baked some brownies and called up my best friend

She'll be talking and talking so much

That I'll forget that I'll be sleeping alone tonight, yet again
