Teddy Bear

Take heart, teddy bear.
Your beady eyes keep you wide awake.
Into the dark night you stare.
Waiting, perhaps, to be loved.

Take heart, teddy bear.
Your smile invites many hugs
From lonely hearts that have nothing to give
And will leave you lying here.

Take heart, teddy bear.
You fluff leaves your heart encased
In vulnerability and expectation
Breaking with every lonely stare.

Take heart, teddy bear.
You'll always be loved
But no one will ever stay
Because you will never be enough.
