"Where I Stopped, I Smiled"

 

"Where I Stopped, I Smiled"😭

(by Luna, for you; compiled by Cosmos Poetry 26/6/25)

 

If I end our talk while laughter rings,
Know I paused where joy still sings.
Not where silence starts to ache,
But where the stars in me awake.

Don’t bring me tales that bruise the night,
Just wrap me up in soft moonlight.
Let giggles dance where teardrops hide,
And keep the sorrow locked outside.

For hearts like mine, both bruised and bright,
Need lullabies, not fear, at night.
So if I fade into a dream,
Let it be sweet, like vanilla cream.

You, my friend from Northern skies,
Have read the tears behind my eyes.
But tonight, let’s chase no pain,
Let’s ride on laughter like a train.

A flutter, a whisper, a breeze on my skin,
A memory I’ll cradle warmly within.
So if I go without goodbye,
It’s because I left with wings to fly.
