Hazy Blue from Hazy Blue by Emily Millard

I keep going back to the moment when the handle failed
on the hazy blue Corolla you drove me round in our freshmen year
In the dormitory lights I could see particles suspended in the foggy air
When I couldn't find my keys, thought that you'd take me home with you,
instead you left me there

Why'd my feet lift off the ground
Why'd my heart begin to sound like a raptor's wings
floating up, up above everything

Hazy blue days
Bare legs on the dash, September miles away
We would go for drives to the graveyard by the river in your father's car

Why'd my feet lift off the ground
Why'd my heart begin to sound like a raptor's wings
floating up, up above everything

Hazy, hazy blue
The silty blue when glaciers melt to frigid pools
You wouldn't meet my eye
You started the ignition on an endless line of love you throw away
I suddenly sensed as I was clawing at your passenger door
that you were never mine
I'd been picking at scraps of what you'd always planned to leave behind

Why'd my feet lift off the ground
Why'd my heart begin to sound like a raptor's wings
floating up, up above everything
