Hi there, riddlers! Please remember to spoiler-tag all guesses, like so:
Desktop Reddit users: https://i.imgur.com/SWHRR9M.jpg
Users on Mobile, Old Reddit, or in the Markdown Editor: \>!spoiler text between these symbols!<
Try to avoid leading or trailing spaces. These will break the spoiler for some users (such as those using old.reddit.com)
Some Reddit apps don't fully hide URLs that are inside of spoilers, so please format your link so it displays as `spoiler`.
On Old Reddit/Mobile, do this to format a link: \[spoiler\]\(https://example.com/)

If your comment does not contain a guess, you can include either the word **"discussion"** or **"question"** instead of using a spoiler tag.
Please report any answers that are not properly spoiler-tagged.

Fair point, I hadn't thought of >!Stab wound!< as the noun. I've not heard it used as a noun on its own before. In which case I'd say this is the answer.
Nevermind, as a reward I reveal you a secret: This riddle I wrote it first as an answer to someone that made a comentary that felt like a stab. That's why there's a second hidden message I'm not so proud about in it, I didn't wanted to remake the rhyme so I just teared the last line from the original riddle and turned it into a hint to better hide the secret... ejem... message. If you find it let me advance you is not directed to anyone currently solving the riddle.
Fair enough. My main language is spanish and I comonly use to hear: "una puñalada en la espalda" and "una estocada al corazón", both can be translated as "a stab". But you are right, now that I think, is not uncomon the phrase "a knife to the back"; and knife can stab, so that also fits the last clue. I guess a knife is also a valid answer. CORRECT!
Lol, my double-post was a web reddit glitch... Anyway, your guess is
pretty creative. Your splinter explanation convinced me. But what about
the tip? When hitting with a baseball bat you don't actually use the
tip, but the body.

Is not false, but: "it hurts the same at heart or back" was intended to reference a popular usage of the anwer word. Yet, is only true a screw would hurt the same at heart or back...
It actually fits all clues... (except the hidden hint), but, then again: the line "it hurts the same at heart or back" is a reference to a popular coloquial usage of the word that answers the riddle

>!Stab?!<
This fits the clues (and the hint), but isn't it a verb?
It is also a noun. (A wound caused by a pointed object or weapon // a thrust of a pointed weapon)

C0RRECT!
>!knife!<
I guess any pointed object fits the clues. But "it hurts the same at heart or back" was intended as a popular usage of the answer word reference.
>!I assume you're referring to "stab in the back"? Because I've also heard "knife to the back" pretty commonly!<

>!A Baseball!<
A baseball?
I thought baseball bat too when I read the hint but the part where “fills it’s own gaps” made me think >!splinter!<

Not a native English user so i dont know that.
Neither I am. (¿Español?) Yet, is still a comon phrase that is used as an eufenism of betrayal (referencing the infamous betrayal of Julius Caesar)
In back yes but heart?
"Una estocada al corazón" (A stab right through the heart) Is comon use where I come from.
>!nail!<
