Empty Eyes

You were born and you were tired
Little girl, you deserved
All the joy in the world

Big hungry eyes
Dreaming of mountains to climb
But the shadows ate all that shined

Your hopes of the moon
To live in the universe's womb
I looked at your everyday fight to bloom

Finally rose in the sky
To float and cry
Looking down upon us with a smile

On your first space walk
You went far, fearless of the cold
The last you heard
Was the oxygen alarm call

A blue lip grin
Watching all galaxies spin
You've got everything to paint in pink
