You left me empty like the vacuum of space
Each portion of me aching to be filled
But instead, my insides felt like barren planetary bodies
Loose red soil provides no nutrients
All life ceased to exist long ago
Everyone dreams of being the first human feet on mars
But I wish only to terraform my broken heart
Going through a lot of these old poems is forcing me to relive some of my happiest and saddest times.  It's been an emotional roller coaster.  This piece was written after a girl that I loved, who very much loved space, walked away without even a little fight to keep the relationship alive.
