Lost and lonely starry eyed
Staring at the sky,
Hoping that the answers will
Soon be stopping by

She wishes it was simple
Trudging day by day,
Taken all that she can hold
Tired from the weight

Her hands are full, knees are weak
Onwards she shall go,
Final destination is
Showing up unknown

Desperation in her eyes
Speaks a thousand words,
Though she's tried there's no disguise
To hide all the hurt

Look at her and she shall smile
Though it sounds absurd,
Don't be fooled, deeper she falls
Hoping someone's heard

Lost and lonely starry eyed
Staring at the sky,
Hoping that the answers will
Soon be stopping by
