Know You Only Got Me

Janet Kuypers
(01/24/12)

you know you got me
because it seemed obvious
that you really needed
someone to hold on to.

and I loved how you held me,
how you were so infatuated with me,
how you curled up with me,
how you caressed me.

I liked that, you know.

I have feelings too,
and it was nice to give you
something to lean on
when you felt alone.

but I’ve noticed that
as more time has passed
you’ve spent less time with me,
and I think I know why.

I think you’ve realized now
that you know you only got me
because I would only be a distraction
so you wouldn’t think about

being alone.

 

(this poem is about a teddy bear)
