I see her young face

Her eyes pleading

For me to help her

Her cheeks are hollow

Her smile has disappeared

She lays on the gurney

Pain pulsing through

Her small body

Tears in my eyes

I squeeze her hand

"It will be alright."

Her eyes are now closed

I hope she'll understand

Her life

So fragile

So new

Angel of death

Don't take her I pray

No one deserves

To live life more than she

Her laugh echoes 

In my ears

I caress her soft skin

Losing faith

So perfect 

My angel

Take me instead 

I plea

To the heavens above

Don't take her from me

Into your dark clutches

I would sacrifice anything

To hear her small voice sing

Again

To dispell the disease from her veins

"Please." I say

"Don't take her,

Away."
