please, hug me softly.
I honestly swear
to become your dumb and lonely
brand new teddy bear.
the plush is external,
outside I'm soften by tears.
but if not to boggle -
inside I am stuffed with the fears.
when you see the dreams and hold me tight,
the wall is the only thing in my sight,
the world is the show where the wicked clowns hide
under the bed. each night is the fight.
if only you could keep me closer.
I was certainly made not to bother,
but at five o'clock clowns creep out
with twisted faces they come to cross me.
I lie next to you like I don't see them;
at six they move under the bed again,
at seven for second to the toilet I glide,
and by the time you get up
my toy smile as always shines bright.
