I watch as you make a hole
in my skin
Obsessively pulling out
my stuffing
I can see the fascination in your eyes
as you keep on going
Till I am as hollow
as that teddy bear you always carried around as a kid
The one that was super skinny
because you had hugged it too tight
too often
The one you once joked
had anorexia
As I laughed
even though
I didn’t find it funny
Because I love you
as much as that teddy bear loved you
And because I know
I too will end up like a faded photograph
In an album no one ever looks at
Because everything is digital nowadays
Even memories
