she sits and smiles
and smiles and sits and
nods her head and
tries to ignore the blood
leaking from her
fingertips.
drops of red rain.

My biggest critic would be to get rid of the unnecessary words. If you are going for a short and sweet poem then cut out any word that isn't necessary. Once you do that I would rearrange the lines.  For example: She sits
smiles 
smiles 
sits 
nods her head 
ignores 
blood
from
her fingertips 
drops of red
rain Just a visual of what I was thinking. 
I really like the simplicity of this poem and it took me a few times, but I think I get what you were trying to say.
