Stay Beautiful {Shakespearen Sonnet}

This is about a girl committing suicide and someone standing over her talking to her and telling her to [insert last line of poem here.]

--------------------------------------
You are beautiful when you cry;
In water your eyes glimmer.
A quick prayer to help you die,
You're world is getting dimmer.

Tears leak down a sorry face;
You might not want to get caught.
Cling on to life and touch base;
You did give your best shot.

Ugly gasping sounds surround you;
Is this how they will remember?
Help, help, help! You're falling through
Into the black darkened ember.
Battle yourself on the level;
Stay beautiful for the devil.
