Stuffed BearA Poem by Tyrae'GiftsMy Stuffed Bear Named Oreo He has a black little bowtie And a priceless smile This bear means a lot more than anyone will ever know
The thought of him makes me smile His priceless smile Makes me smile When he talks I just want to listen Stop whatever I'm doing To pay attention To the wonderful voice speaking to me On the other side of my phone I never fall asleep alone I have a beautiful bear all my own
I don't know where we will go But I know that from now on I won't Doubt my feelings Something's coursing through my veins Some feeling that rejuvenates me when I'm completely drained. And when you're gone That something remains.
All I want to do is make you happy I don't want to do things to make you angry Nothing that would cause you to hate me Yet I test you To see if you could love the real me The one that not everybody Can see
I can't think of anything to say When we're together My mind just goes blank So I stare at my bear And wonder if these feelings are fakes And if I'm just some girl who thinks She's feeling something real Then if it's not real And it's not fake What in the name of love did I create?
I think that I'd be happy If we never said a word to each other I'd be happy just sitting there Just being near And being clear about our feelings
It's crazy but I miss you if you're not near And every word I say over the phone actually means "I wish you were here.." So everything is not what it seems You don't want something that sparkles You want something that gleams I want something real That tears at the seams Like my bear Which keeps me company Which keeps me dreaming Which keeps me thinking About you
Late into the night I'm holding that bear tight But sometimes in the morning I awake to the bear resting on the floor It's like We had a fight In my dreams And I chose to ignore The fact that it hurts And by holding that bear I'm making it worse The longing The wanting The things that can't be done I try to toss them away Until the morning sun And for a swift moment I've won
Until darkness falls Until you call Until we talk Until you fall asleep on me Until I stay on the other end Silently lingering Knowing you're asleep, Cause I can hear you breathing Quietly asking you to wake up Smiling Because you probably Look cute when you're dreaming.... Until I finally decide to hang up Knowing that I have no other reason to stay up
I turn to this website And I type My heart out Hoping you never read this Hoping your eyes never see this Scared to death of what I might do If I'm falling to fast for you Irritation Leads to Separation There's no safe haven When friends start dating
But then I hope you read this I hope your eyes see this Because I want to know that we're feeling The same feelings Completely So I can stop fighting this Like a virus Even after all that I've seen Fear of Rejection Keeps my heart from being clean... © 2011 Tyrae' |
