mood - pensively phlegmaticof late, i've been assailed by unfathomable feelings of regret and sadness. morbid enough, i sometimes relish in it. it is exactly the paradoxical nature of humans that amazes me:
like a young child, i've recently found myself searching and yearning so sorely for that familiar batty old teddy that i have perhaps casted aside for more intriguing ones. temptations abound. yet, when one realizes that batty old teddy is no longer perched at the window latch right beside oneself, one plummets into a mad frenzy trying to find it. to touch it, to see a little glimpse of it.
after all, that batty old teddy grew up with you; soaked up all your tears when you were most down and out, dealt with all your blows when you were angry, and even listened patiently to hackneyed complaints of your ineffectualness and lack of self-esteem. the batty old teddy, however, could never reply. yet, i wish sometimes you would respond to me, batty old teddy.
/so they said silence was golden.
i miss my batty old teddy.
