You Had Me at Goodbye
You had me at goodbye, not hello
A goodbye signifies the end of the day
when the sun sweeps her golden skirt
behind the mountains
with a last glance before exiting
the red sky darkening like a scab
to welcome the gorgeous moon
who's more serene than the sun
to guide the slumberous night
You'll never catch me at hello
which carries the weight of my lids
as I open my eyes to the sunrise
the day's chores awaiting me
I will roll your name on my tongue
but always more gladly
at goodbye than hello
