#teddy
I had the softest, strangest dream–
sweet as silk, yet edged with flame,
a hush of longing wrapped in dark,
a quiet pulse that spoke your name.
Beside me lay a distant world,
turned away, too tired, too still–
but somewhere
deeper, under breath,
another hunger bent my will.
And then–
like dusk that knows my every sin,
you slipped into the space within.
Dressed in black,
a shadowed grace,
no face to hold–
yet I could tell,
my heart knew yours
without a doubt,
like something summoned,
something fell.
And softly–
like a prayer I shouldn’t keep,
I whispered low, almost asleep–
teddy bear.... teddy bear....
The name melted on my tongue,
a fragile thing, a dangerous thread,
half devotion, half desire,
a place where innocence had bled.
I moved to you, small and warm,
a trembling thing
drawn to your heat,
gentle, aching, almost shy–
yet undone at your feet.
My eyes found yours–
and stayed there, caught,
as if the world had come to rest,
as if every secret I ever hid
had risen quietly in my chest.
There was no rush–
only rhythm, slow and deep,
a closeness that felt almost sacred,
a promise only dreams could keep.
You held me like you meant it–
not soft.... but certain, still,
like I was something to be kept,
not broken– only bent to will.
And I–
I didn’t fight, I didn’t flee,
I let it take the rest of me....
Because it was you.
Something dark, yet tender too,
a sweetness
laced with something wild,
like being seen too deeply through–
not a woman....
almost a child
in the way I trembled,
the way I stayed,
the way I quietly obeyed.
teddy bear....
Again it slipped–
a sacred sin,
a name I wasn’t meant to keep,
yet wore it softly on my lips
like something mine,
like something deep.
You drew the breath out of my chest,
not cruel–
just claiming what was there,
and in that space between restraint,
I found myself laid open.... bare.
Not broken– no,
but reshaped slow,
like dark affection learning light,
like every hidden, aching need
had finally stepped into the night.
And I felt tears–
not sharp, not sore,
but something warm I can’t ignore,
a quiet joy, a trembling plea–
stay like this.... stay here with me....
Because with you,
even the shadows felt like home,
even the ache was softly known.
I don’t want perfect, polished love,
I don’t want gentle hands alone–
I want the way you hold me close
like something fragile you still own.
Your flaws, your voice,
your stubborn mind–
every edge I shouldn’t crave,
every part that makes you YOU
is every part that makes me cave.
So if I whisper it again–
if I let this feeling show....
teddy bear....
Will you hear me this time?
Because you know–
no one else will ever be
this hunger wrapped in loyalty,
this aching,
endless, burning thread–
this love that feels like destiny.
So take me–
not harsh, but sure,
not loud, but something more....
Something that lingers in my skin,
something I can’t ignore.
Make me yours–
your wild, your soft,
your little bunny, sweet and lost,
caught between the need to kneel
and the need to be devoured at cost.
Call me yours in silent ways,
trace your presence, leave it there,
make me soft and wild at once–
your little bunny....
for her teddy bear.
Or are you scared?
Not bold enough to take the flame,
not selfish enough
to stake your claim,
not reckless enough
to choose me whole–
and set our worlds alight the same?
So choose me.
Just once– don’t turn away,
don’t let this fire decay,
take my hand and run with me–
before I fade, before I stray.

Hold me close
and I'll protect you.
The monsters in your closet
can't hurt you as long
as I'm here.
If you cry,
I'll wipe your tears.
I'll never judge you
because your pain
is real.
No matter what,
I'm always here for you.
Even when you think
you're alone,
I'm with you.
The years may pass
and I may grow old and worn,
but no matter what
I'll love you
all the same.

Have you hugged your teddy today?
And show him the love that comes his way
How much you need his comforting smile
Because he will be there all the while
To cheer you up when you are down
And make you lose that worried frown
Who knows, he may be your Guardian Angel in disguise
Maybe to you that’s why he seems so very wise
Always seems to be there when he is needed
Listens intently and every word is heeded
His soft brown arms will cuddle you tight
Under the blankets all through the night
And he always has his cheeky grin
No matter what mood you may be in
However, his eyes are getting loose a bit
And his coat is threadbare and a tightly fit
He still loves you never fret
Because he is the best friend, you will ever get

You told everyone you were a care bear
But you don’t know how to handle my heart
You don’t know what it means to care
Because otherwise my heart wouldn’t be ripped apart
You told everyone you would fight for me
and would go through fire like a bold beast
You only fight for money and power, can’t you see?
You toss me around like prey, celebrate it like a feast
oh you, you beautiful bear, you stuffed with jealousy bear
you use your claws on me, you show me you are the silverback
And you hurt me so deeply, I don’t think that is care
which is odd, because bears don’t like leaders of a pack
I tried to stuff myself back together with needles and thread
but my eyes are leaking and my mouth stays taped
you want me to sit still and look like every other zombie-head
Mary wrote a book about me, in which I was monster-shaped
I wish you held me, consoled me, supported me and not like a ripped bear
because that is what it actually means to care

When you were born, oh my dear,
No doctor—no midwife predicted,
But, oh my dear, you've been a granny,
All throughout, all throughout.
When I first saw you,
I wanted to take you home,
Adorable, lovable, and pure
I really did want to kidnap you.
Why, you ask me...
Look at yourself,
Those pure eyes,
That cute face,
And that cuddly body.
I saw you in 2024,
And you were 24 years old,
I realised you're a 24-year-old grandma.
No fun, no bun, no run.
Oh, Teddy, I so wish...
I hope that you realised it...
Your words hurt me...
How you compared hurt me...
You generalised my trauma,
How could you compare?
You said, "Disabled people even clear UPSC-CSE,"
But you didn't stop there,
And you kept misbehaving...
If you never wanted to marry me,
You could've simply told your mom.
Off and on,
Undying spirit,
Not of positivity,
But of vengeance.
You never actually apologised,
So, I never forgave,
But it's hard,
Yes, it's so hard,
Hard to forget what we forged.
I had seen a world in your eyes,
In my mind, I had seen a future,
A future where you are with me,
A future where I train you, honey.
But why did we separate out?
C'mon now, tell me, why did we?
Couldn't you just be mine?
I wanted to live with you.
What was the need for separation?
I'm perplexed by how things went.
It was so right initially, the elation.
Why did the things prematurely end?

waiting for my phone to light up
with a message from you
but instead i'm laying down holding a teddy bear
pretending its you,
writing a poem instead of texting you.

It’s been a year now since I held your life.
Over a year since I saw you leave me.
Over 12 months since I let you go,
I wish I hadn’t.
I wish I’d kept you close,
Given you some dignity and
A real place to rest.
My numb shock sent you out to sea.
I have a space within me where you were,
A space that I can’t fill for now.
But I will hold your name in my heart,
Till I can make you a family.
Living souls to cling to,
Heartbeats to meet you at the shore.
And say…
’Hello Teddy, we never forgot you’

Hey my love
You are so cute
Just want to hold you tight
You always do bring smiles in any person's face
May it of any age
You are chubby
And I love to kiss you
In my sleep I always do hug you tight
And then I never left alone
You are the best and simplest gift I ever want,
Love you my teddy bear 🐻

Thank you
For pushing my stuffing
Back in place
When I have one of
Those days
I would do it myself
But I can’t reach
It means more
Coming from you anyway
We will find our needle
And thread someday
Love,
Your grumpy
Brown eyed bear

Taffeta watches the pigs atop the tables
Glass eyes and stitches where they're enabled
Guts pumping crimson liquid
Sewing 'em up, she's addicted
Family and friends recommend she withdraw
She responded with a twinkle in her eye and a dropped jaw
Scissors and string, that's all she'll need
Besides a corpse, of course, and a bit of stuffing
Lilac eyes affixed on a tattered pillow
Enjoying watching a weeping Willow
Her poor Porky pet has met his end
But everyone knows you can depend
Before your sweet pet starts to smell
On Taffeta's Taxidermy to stuff 'em well

Reminds me of those sweet moments
I wouldn't switch it with anything
Either I'd have cried or I'd have gotten conflict
I used to hug it every single night
Say my dreams to it
N take myself to universe vlog
It pleased me often
The matter was just it couldn't get me to talk
Brought it to the parties
I spoiled it
I've always realised
That if there weren't any attention
Now we would be harder than a rock

I was born out of fur and cotton,
With eyes that were shiny, black buttons.
From the store rack, I always watched the distant tree.
But one fine day, this little girl picked me.
My owner handled me with great care.
I was, after all, her beloved teddy bear.
I seemed to be her biggest comfort,
When she couldn't sleep or she felt troubled.
Years passed by and so did my time.
The little girl didn't need her teddy when she cried.
As I lay with the other toys in the attic,
I realized that my short life was quite tragic.
"Mr. Cuddles! Your child's best friend!"
But who's going to care about me in the end?
I played my part. I stayed with you.
But in the end this is what it came to.
Mr. Cuddles, the lonely one.
Who lies in the attic with his fur undone.
The cotton keeps falling out of his limb,
The once happy bear now lays grim.

She was sad,
She needed someone who cared.
She went into her room
Just like every night
And held onto him
She cried her heart out
Though she never spoke
He could understand everything
He knew her better than anyone else
People would think she's crazy
But she knew better
She knew he knew
He'd been watching her from a child
Yet he never judged her
Teddy was always there for her.

Coffin Heart,
Closed from danger and sight;
Protected by traps and trickery,
It was nothing but a lonely heart.
Aged and broken,
It was dry as sand,
Where no light had seen it,
In a thousand nights.
Coffin Heart,
It is found at last;
Opened and seen,
After a thousand nights.
Life filled and love seen,
It was bright as life,
Saved by hope and treats,
It was all but a lonely heart.

Boys are like teddy bear.
You love them for a short amount of time.
When that’s times up and the timer rings.
You just throw them away.
In your closet where you never see them again.
Then you get a new teddy bear.
You love this teddy bear.
The way he smells like the woods,
but after shave at the same time.
The way he fits perfectly in you’re arms.
This teddy bear oh you think it’s the one.
The one your going to love till the end of you’re life.
No this time the teddy bear stops loving you.
He throws you to his closet.
Just like you did to that teddy bear.
Now you know how it feels.
Opening your closet you bring that old teddy bear out.
Loving that old teddy bear till the end of your time.

He's just a pink teddy bear
no, not black or brown
he rides his stuffed white unicorn
when he comes into town
He parks himself at the bar
and drinks his root beer down
pushes his hat, back on his brow
and never makes a sound
Yeah, he's silent and he's furry
his eyes of glass, gaze round
pizza for his supper
smile sewed, reversed frown
Spurs are just for show
he's not into mixing nouns
he'll be sure, not to let you know
just when he'll be around
So tell him happy birthday
and know that he's not bound
no thoughts and lines to mutter
teddy of few words, but, of great renown

Purple and fuzzy, somewhat unruly
Sitting comfortably atop the bed.
It’s missing a nose, it’s missing an eye
It’s covered in patches with a loose thread
Its ribbon is gone. It’s tattered and torn.
It’s been hugged, It’s been thrown, yet he’s not dead.
He’s often replaced, left out in the rain
But he is there when you have all the feels
He’ll stay right here, He’ll share your company
Like the neglected Best Friend that he is.

As the little minds drift off to sleep with a strife,
the unsung heroes of the night come to life.
Protection from the succubus of the eventide,
using their powers of whim with a glide.
Stitched smiles and button eyes defend the adolescents
under the shine of crescents.
While the nightmares attempt to emerge,
the guardians uphold with a surge.
Unable to pirate their minds,
they dissipate with a wind.
The unsung heroes take their win with a fain,
therefore the children of the world are safe again.

At first she loved me with wondrous pride,
Night after night, a happy constant by her side.
Hand-written stories narrated solely to me,
For only I appreciated her special 'vocabulary'.
In a couple of years, she gouged out my right eye.
As she pulled out my left arm, I masked a sigh.
A laborious poker face; by her, I was smitten.
And unlike the others, at least I wasn't forgotten.
At the age of three, she made loneliness my mistress.
Stowed me away; locked me alone with my distress.
The darkness of the room surpassed by my own.
Yet my unrequited adoration set firmly in stone.
Twenty five years later, she found her old teddy bear.
'He was always my favourite. Treat him with care.'
'But mommy, he has no eyes or hands...' she said, sans guile.
In the blink of an eye, she spied a sad, crippled smile.

Big Teddy Bear,
This is for you.
Big Teddy Bear,
I love you.
Big Teddy Bear,
I'm addicted to your voice.
Big Teddy Bear,
I want to hug you until I'm dead.
Big Teddy Bear,
I would wait forever for you.
Big Teddy Bear,
I'm insane.
Big Teddy Bear,
I hope you know everything about me.
Big Teddy Bear,
I look forward to our future.
Big Teddy Bear,
Don't leave me, please.
Big Teddy Bear,
Heal me from your scars.
Big Teddy Bear,
Hold my hand.
Big Teddy Bear,
I promise.
Big Teddy Bear,
I won't let our love end.
Big Teddy Bear,
Don't send me away.
Big Teddy Bear,
I may be crazy.
But Big Teddy Bear,
I love you so much.

There once was a bear,
Who sat all alone
On the toy store shelf.
He watched as his friends
Were gently taken
Off that wooden shelf.
They had soft brown fur
And handsome bow ties,
Just like he did.
But their golden coats
Must’ve been softer,
Their bow ties neater.
What made them special?
Why were they chosen,
And not this poor bear?
Days turned into weeks,
And weeks into months.
Still, he sat alone.
So now, he still sits,
Watching and waiting,
Wondr’ing why he’s there.
What good is a bear
With no one to hold,
No one to comfort?
What difference could he–
A lonely stuffed bear–
Make in this big word,
From all alone
On that toy store shelf?
