Funny how the car smelled of exhaust,
how your eyes fluttered into a dream.
Funny how those fumes filled up
the chambers of your heart,
and how your last breath stuck
to the glass when I found you.
Funny how I’ve been stumbling
around in a smoke-induced haze,
and how it’s been years (years)
of me breathing without you.
