Big Friend

Mmm Oh Yeah

It seemed like a joke at first
A 10 foot teddy bear
More fluff than possible
Seams at bursting point
Eyes the size of hubcaps
Its fur a duvet
Wanting nothing but to buffer them
Through the night

What were they going to do with it
Squeezed through the door
They cleared a corner in the front room
So they could still watch T.V.
Forgoing the armchair
They sat cross-legged on its crossed legs
Drank their tea and nestled
Into the belly

They ignored the whole world
Finding in the other a place to rest
Hearing a heartbeat
Head against a chest

They watched horrors until morning
And cuddled as Wolfman howled
And the creature reached for their throats
They fell asleep
In each other's arms
As Dracula's eyes turned red

Next day, they needed milk
But how could the leave it behind
They held its paw, scrunched up an edge
And stepped out
And for the first time
In a long time, felt unafraid
Cushioned against a sharp world

They ignored the whole world
Finding in the other a place to rest
Hearing a heartbeat
Head against a chest

But nothing lasts forever
Round the bend they saw the tear
The trailing thread
And emptied head
Pleading through loose eyes
They hugged and whispered
As white tumbleweeds
Rolled down the road

They ignored the whole world
Finding in the other a place to rest
Hearing a heartbeat
Head against a chest

They ignored the whole world
Finding in the other a place to rest
Hearing a heartbeat
Head against a chest

Mmm Oh Yeah
Mmm Oh Yeah
