The smell of smoke lingers in the air,

It's on her clothes,

It's in her hair.


With each cigarette that gets lit,

Every breath that gets exhaled,

The smell of smoke lingers in the air.


Lingering and mingling with breathable air,

Nowhere to escape,

It's on her clothes.


She turns around and tries to hide,

Scurrying frantically to get away,

It's in her hair.
