once upon a time
there was a girl, a little child
innocent heart
beautiful imaginations
a brown teddy bear
her dearest companion
deeply in love
she never would let it go
imagined to be teddy’s wife
the day she would grow..
Time cruelly, robbed her of her innocence
as it passed, ticking the clock
days, and then years
little girl now all grown up
no more toys
to remain around her
does she even remember
how & when
she lost – her dear teddy bear
the new avatar of life
entirely unlike the previous
assuring the presence
of pretty tears in her life
to keep those big, deep dark eyes
forever moist
she now wonders
of the two sides of the coin
two stories, she was told by her life
no more giggles
beaming laughs are all gone
today, her only & true companion
the one
never leaving her side
even in a crowd
is no one else
but Her Loneliness
