Like the car you dumped at the junk yard, you left me an empty shell of what I once was.
You grabbed your suitcase and emptied all of me into it as soon as you found a vessel more flashy to carry your soul.
My tires weren't brand new but my tread still hugged your road with great traction.
My speakers crackle with age but I still played your favorites at your request.
I have rust and some dents, but my glass was clear enough for you to see the path ahead.
I may idle rough, and my exhaust is loud when you test my pedals with force, but I could've gotten you where you wanted to go.
You partially lifted my decals, left the burnt-out air freshener dangling, dancing on the mirror, and the lighter you lost is still in my pocket.
But I have a full tank of gas and someone new's got the key.
