Hymen



My hymen.
Where did you go
Who took you
Sam
That's him
Momma says it's my fault
3 years old I am on to him
I shouldn't have wanted to play his game
I'm sorry mommy
I made the bed perfectly without any wrinkles
Was I just dreaming
Did I make it up
Was I making it up like momma said
I'll test it with him
He's the only one interested
I don't really want it but I want to know if I still have you
1, 2, 3, 4, no pain, no blood
You're gone
It wasn't a dream
It was my nightmare
I'll never have the choice to give you to that special one
Momma Sam took it
He didn't ask and I didn't give
Mommy I'm sorry
Mommy can you please give it back
I promise I won't be a bad girl
I promise u won't play his game
I promise I'll never wrinkle the sheets
I promise I'll keep it forever please just give it back
I want the hurt that my friends talk about
I want to see the proof in the redness
I want to have a choice
Please mommy give me back my choice
