Stitch it up—it will be okay,Just enough to last another day.Just one more—ah, there! It's cinched!Sealed shut, sealed tight—oops it pinched. Don't worry, don't worry—it's okay!Didn't we talk about it the other day?You said yes, so I went through.Wait! You said no? Oh, get a clue! Just stitch it up—here, let me do it.Oops it pinched. Don't worry, I'll get you through it,I'll plow you through; I'll plow you goodLeave a bruise right where I stood. Don't worry, don't you worry, baby girl.A diamond ring, a mocking merle,What more could you want? What more could you yearn?I got all you need, and I'll make it burn. Sealed shut, sealed tight—no one will know.Mouth shut, lips tight—what a good show.Don't worry, don't worry pretty babe,The scars I'm leaving won\'t ever fade. 

I could see this being adapted to song lyrics, it\'s got that feel about it when I read it.

It\'s a sad subject, though certainly well written. Is this new? If it is, I am pleased to see you writing because you have a clear talent. Thanks for sharing this. Keep \'em coming!

Really good and well written. As macabre as it sounds, is it about FGM?

/profile/4-joe-jones/\" data-ipshover=\"\" data-ipshover-target=\"http://poetryartonline.com/profile/4-joe-jones/?do=hovercard\" data-mentionid=\"4\">@Joe Jones Thank you!It wasn\'t intended to be about FGM, but now that you mention it, I can see how you would think that! It\'s great how a different reader can get a different meaning from it!  

Haha clearly I have a disturbed mind  

/profile/4-joe-jones/\" data-ipshover=\"\" data-ipshover-target=\"http://poetryartonline.com/profile/4-joe-jones/?do=hovercard\" data-mentionid=\"4\">@Joe Jones hahaha no, I don\'t think so!   If it helps you feel better, when I re-read this poem today am like \"huh this can be interpreted as a poem about domestic abuse -- never thought of that.\" Just comes to show you never know what meaning you put out there with poetry sometimes...the more obscure the more meaning if you ask me!

To be fair, now /profile/4-joe-jones/\" data-ipshover=\"\" data-ipshover-target=\"http://poetryartonline.com/profile/4-joe-jones/?do=hovercard\" data-mentionid=\"4\">@Joe Jones mentions it does come across like this.

I felt it was about \'lost sorrow\' and \'coming to terms with time\'. I don\'t know, this could just be making me think of mine and /profile/2-cheeky~k8/\" data-ipshover=\"\" data-ipshover-target=\"http://poetryartonline.com/profile/2-cheeky~k8/?do=hovercard\" data-mentionid=\"2\">@cheeky~k8\'s still born daughter. Yet I find the best type of poetry, allows it to be related to the reader and this certainly does.

Yeah, this comes across as a good read. I have to say it does sound like a bad story behind it but that does not make it negative.
