There once was a boy
far, far away. You see,
this boy was like no other.
He lived near a tree.
He once was a human,
yet not fit for the hoods.
So some humans did experiments,
then threw him in the woods.
Stitches lived peacefully, some would speak of.
He was really quite kind,
and gentle like a dove.
But many were afraid,
though stitches was gentler
so they fenced up the woods
so no one could enter.
Then came an adventurous girl
with apples in a bin.
She read the sign posted
"no one can come in,
For here lives Stitches
and he is a monster.
If ever encountered,
you would never leave the woods, sir!
So please stay out
for we fear for your safety.
This way we can save lives,
just maybe."
She almost left
then she saw an apple
and figured, she could get it quick
run after it's grappled.
So she made an enterance
nice and wide.
Into the forest
she stepped inside.
She picked the apple,
almost opened her mouth wide,
but Stitches was holding on
the other side.
Adventurous girl screamed
and ran for the gate,
but something stopped her.
Stitches yelled "Wait!
I'm not a monster
like all of them say.
I was just a boy
that wanted to play.
But I was kidnapped
and my limbs were torn apart.
All I have left
is my beating heart."
The girl turned around,
her hands she did cup,
and she asked Stitches
"How can you talk if your mouth is sewn up?"
Stitches shrugged,
then simply replied
"with button eyes and 1 organ,
how am I standing, I should have died!"
The girl gave a chuckle,
then drew close.
"Nice to meet you,
my name is Rose."
They played each day
until sunset.
They were best friends
you could bet.
One day someone
had followed Rose
and they found her
where the apple tree grows.
They saw her with Stitches
playing a game
with hoops, sticks,
and a bicycle frame.
That person ran back
to tell her mother
her father, her sister
her dog and her brother.
Back in the forest
was Stitches and Rose
underneath where
the apple tree grows.
"I'll be back tomorrow,
I have a present for you.
Swear that you'll keep it
and you'll never be blue!"
He gave her his word
with that she went.
And in stitches mind
was a plan kept pent.
Rose had gone home
to her father and mother,
sister, dog
and her brother.
She had broken the law,
her parents were mad.
In their eyes,
Sistches was bad.
When they'd called him a monster,
she would disagree.
So they locked her up
and tossed out the key.
But that would not stop her
from giving a surprise
so she grabbed a needle
and began with the eyes.
Sistches never saw her,
I regret to say.
For his gift
would end the same way.
He never knew
how his heart was used,
for his heart had always
been abused.
He grabbed a sharp object
and undid the string
and removed his heart
like a little plaything.
Something was wrong
he didn't feel hot.
he realized without his heart,
his body would rot.
But instead of putting it
back in his chest
he felt he was ready
for a good long rest.
So he grabbed a stick
and the dirt he did write:
"My heart is for you
take it tonight."
She never got his message
though she did try.
For his present
Rose would die.
Her eyes were gone,
her body in stitches.
Now dressed in rags,
instead of riches.
"I now you're not a monster,
my present in store
is so you aren't alone,
the only monster anymore."
