I tell him I want to die
He says please don't cry
I say why shouldn't I?
There's no hope left in me
He whispers one last time, don't ever give up hope
And kisses me before I die

Okay. It's a pretty good poem. I got a little lost in the middle when the rhyming stopped, and the lack of pauses.

I tell him I want to die;
He says please don't cry.
I say why shouldn't I?
There's no hope left in me
He whispers one last time, "Don't ever give up hope,"
And kisses me before I die.


Also, I think maybe you could use a little more descriptive language, instead of saying "He/she says this"
You know, show not tell. It would give the reader a better feel of the poem, which is good, especially since yours is so short. It could flow a little more, because I felt at times that I was just reading a tiny piece a a chapter book that was compressed into smaller sentences.

Not bad!
"If you ever have a problem don't say 'Hey God I have a big problem.' Rather 'Hey Problem... I have a big God and it's all going to be okay."

Hello!
and welcome to YWS.
Just a few suggestions.

I tell him I want to die
He says please don't cry
I say why shouldn't I?
There's no hope left in me
He whispers one last time, don't ever give up hope
And kisses me before I die


Please add a lot more description.
It's waay too short.
This has a whole lot of potential, but it just seems lacking, because you just state things, and don't show us anything.
Other than that
Nice job!

I'm also not sure why but even though I normally wear cool tones I have a feeling red would have been my color in the 1860s.
