The Teddy Bear

By Savannah Posada

Mommy said he will help me sleep at Night..

Mommy said he would scare the Demons away..

That he could be my guardian Angel..

Mommy Was WRONG..

The day mommy bought him was the day the little old innocent me had passed away..

Enjoyment and flush of relief had not once touched one nerve of my body...

The way he just sat there on my mommy’s lap was uncomforting...

The way he smiled was a way for him to say he is finally free...

His eyes were black as ebony.. No sign of good inside this teddy bear...

I was afraid.

As cold as the dead

Lonely as the grave

Dark as his eyes

I never felt so helpless

I cried so many nights

I had to hold my pillow tight

That Teddy Bear was always near me

I felt his hot unsteady breathing..

My heart never stopped beating

My inner conscious was continuously screaming

You can hear his chuckle by my ear

You can feel the cold bitterness of his glare...

His smile was the devil’s laughter

His touch was like consuming my innocence

His eyes had explained he’s ready

Ready to show me his darkest desires..

I couldn’t bare it

The feeling of hell was here

I was frightened and scared

I was imitated to do something..

Something that has never ever been done

I grabbed the teddy bear with no mercy

Jumped out of my bed without a second thought

He needs to be gone for good..

My skin was burning

As if he was ripping my flesh from within

I cried while grabbing the lighter

Grabbing the fuel..

Outside was cold..

Fresh and sweet..

But this teddy bear had brought darkness within me

Throwing the teddy bear on the ground

I saw it lying there..

Just lying there

He finally looked innocent

But I had no mercy..

Pouring the fuel over its body

Hearing his laugh surround in the wind

Lighting the lighter..

burning him to flames

The Teddy Bear was just smiling..

He slowly disintegrated into ash

A soft relief had flushed through my veins..

The teddy bear was gone…

But I felt something still there..

He never left....

But I felt something still there...
