Cold
Freezing
Try not to cry
Icicle
Tears
Fill my eyes
Please
Night
Turn into day
And melt his cold heart away

"I don't think I can make it through one more night. 'Cause how do you answer "What's wrong?" ~ when nothing is right.

Hi Emily,

Although it is a well worn story line, this works pretty well. I just have a couple of suggestions. In L3, trying is more correct than try and it sounds better to me too. Then icicle and tears should be on the same line as icicle is used as a modifier for tears in this case, like an adjective substitute (I know there is a name for that but can't remember high school English today). I would also place please night on one line. I don't mean to rewrite your poem but this is how it would look.

Cold
Freezing
Trying not to cry
Icicle tears
Fill my eyes
Please night
Turn into day
And melt his cold heart away

JMHO,
Pete
