His footsteps are coming closer
and I clutch my Teddy tight,
I know what’s going to happen -
please, Teddy, shut your eyes tonight.
The bedroom door’s pushed open
and he slips into my room,
my heartbeat’s speeding up now -
please, Teddy, will it be over soon?
He pulls back the covers on my bed
and tells me that I’m so good,
but then he does it once again -
please, Teddy, I’d stop him if I could!
Daddy says to me as he leaves my room
that telling Mummy would be bad…
please, Teddy, don’t tell Mummy -
I don’t want her to be mad!

This is beautifully written and tears the heart right out of my chest every time I read it. Wonderful job with the rhyme in this poem (not forced at all) and with the diction (proper, yet childlike - very appropriate!). You also used just the right background
. This is, while tragic, a spectacular poem. Bravo!!! Thank you for your entry. ~ James

One of the most moving pieces I've read so far. I love that you speak to the teddy bear. When I read the title I thought the poem would be about a boy named teddy. I really loved finding out it wasn't. Not only because one of my best friend's name's is Ted (and that would just be weird), but also because you really found a brilliant way to capture the innocence of an abused child. Don't be too worried about having a teddy bear at age 15. I'm 17 and have three that I sleep with. haha . Thank you for entering my contest.
