Please don't cry

Her cold cheek
pressed up against
my chest,
her arms clinging to mine,
and out of the corner
of her eye
a tear starts to form,
running slowly across
her cheek until
it reached her chin
and then fell to the floor.

if your blood could give me happiness,
i'd ask for just a drop;
if your breath could fill my soul
i'd ask for just a whisper;
if your tears could save my life,
i'd say not a word,
for I would rather die
than see you cry,
please don't cry any longer
