gasping your last breaths
your eyes don't focus on me
and that makes it easier
little princess in my arms
you were always so loved
never wanted for anything
and that makes it hurt less
as you grow cold
i make bargains with god
anything to make you warm again
little princess in my arms
and now you are back
in a simple floral tin
and a single paw print
in a heart shaped box
the last thing you touch
little princess out of reach
little princess in my arms
i could hold onto you forever
i could never let you go
but that wouldn't make it easier
little princess in my arms
mew to me and make me strong
so i don't weep so hard
not that that would be easier
