PERSUASION


Splish splash...

Splish splash...

My world...

So cosy and warm!


How could this be?

How could he?

How could he do this to me?


Mama? Are you sad?

I’m very sorry Mama…

If I’ve been bad


He said he loved me

He said we would…

So I let him take

All that he could


He said we’d marry

He said we would

But now he’s left me

Left me for good


I’m so happy Mama

That you are mine

I wish you could see me Mama

And see my eyes shine!


I feel it move

I feel it kick

Oh! What have I done?

I’m going to be sick!


Don’t worry Mama

Have no regrets

I promise to stay still

Still…still…still…

I’m trying….

I’m doing my best


They said it’s quick

No pain at all

But what if….

What if I let it grow up handsome and tall?


Oh yes, please yes, Mama

That’s what I’ll do!

If that’s what you want

I’ll be the cleverest too


They say I’ll be ruined forever

If I let this be

They say I could have another

Someday…when I marry


I’ll help you hang the washing

I’ll help you make the tea

I’ll be handsome and tall, Mama

And the cleverest of all


I must do this

I must be strong

But to take a Life?

That’s wrong…

That’s wrong?

That’s wrong!


Mama….

Maybe a girl?

I promise….

Or maybe a boy?

….to only bring you Joy

Oh God! Please help!

We’ll make this work….

This is so hard. I want to die

Please….Mama….please try!

He gave no reason

Mama I’ll be your reason

He left without even a Goodbye

Through now and every season


I want you already

Though I can’t see you yet

I feel your silent plea

As your heart beats in me

My Baby...

My Baby...

As strange as this seems

I love you my Baby

And oh! With no regret!
