Analysis of Laika
When our eyes first met -
At the karaoke pub,
The night sky once dark -
As my thoughts back then
Became light blue back again;
You were the only star up there.
Shining bright as Venus
Waving me like the Moon;
And as a satellite
You used me a couple times -
Then rid me off.
Leaving me in the cold -
Cold void,
That I still call “my heart”;
Stuck to the star
I do still love -
