I GAVE YOU MY TRUST

-

You were the one that I chose

To help me to forget

You took that knowledge, stored it away

The first time that we met

You chose cruelty every day 

To slowly break my soul

And I gave you my trust stupidly 

And handed you control

How I make so many bad choices

When I'm a gifted and blessed empath

Next time I consider falling in love

I hope I will walk away and laugh

You were to be the one who made me feel

Like I truly mattered

Fixed up my life, helped me to trust

Instead I sit here, all but shattered

I think this is actually just what I needed

For my mental health

I don’t need anyone anymore

I can heal all by myself

I believe I’m better off now

Being on my own

Love is still something I desire

Just not the kind I have been shown

So thank you pain, thank you heartache

I’m starting to finally heal

Honestly, this is the best  

I have ever been blessed to feel

I blow a kiss to my old life

We will forever part our ways

And I look proudly to my future

That will be filled with better days

I understand the betrayal, hurt and damaging effects of trusting someone then having it turned into a weapon against you. This is how I received this poem. Being alone is safer because you were shown it's too risky. We're meant to give and receive love. I've felt damaged/ broken because other ppl showed me proof of that by their actions. If I wasn't broken then it wouldn't happen again and again. Except I learned about human behavior young I hope when you least expect it by the last person you'd think of you realize he's the one.

JJ, You read this exactly as I meant it. Thank you for always understanding and getting me. And yes, I'm definitely broken, but the older I get the easier it is for me to recognize the narcissists and "bad" people and to keep myself safely away from them. Do I go too far and self isolate too much? YES. But this is where I am at right now. Love you, my friend. ❤️

I'm really glad you said it's where you are for now. I do understand the feeling broken part, and it's only you that can say you're repaired, under construction or however you FEEL you are. Feelings change change, so they're not actually fact though the fact is that you are feeling that way. Always remember that and anyone who says "don't feel that way" are dangerous for you. In my opinion they're showing warning signs of control. There are some people who genuinely aren't aware of that and are trying to offer comfort. I'm so happy you're working on yourself, it took me yrs to become repaired. I remind you of your beautiful heart, I compliment your writing because you are exceptional and I'm happy we're friends to infinity and beyond 🫂🏆

I'm happy we are such great friends as well, JJ! I actually have someone telling me right now that we are broken because of me and only me.

THE PATH TO MY HEART

The Path To My Heart I gave you a map. It led straight to my heart. But you took the paper, And ripped it apart. Did I walk away? No, I lived in the lie. I gave you more chances. I thought you would try. But I guess that my map, Just leads to heartbreak. A pain so damn deep, A chasm of ache. So I’ve made a new map. One just for me. No twists to avoid. It will make me happy. I’ll follow this path. And I’ll take every turn. Till the pain is all gone. And I don’t feel the burn. And I'll reclaim my power. I'll reclaim my light. And I'll finally remember, That I'm worth the fight. Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 7.9.2025

FOOL'S GOLD

  FOOL'S GOLD Never again You won’t see my face The way you treat others Is such a disgrace Your essence is toxic Your lips drip with lies You’re selfish and hateful Beneath your disguise You’re like a fungus A spore or black mold You think you’re a gem But you’re just fool’s gold You’re made up of layers But even snakes shed their skin You’re not only noxious You’re the eighth deadly sin It took at most months And not several years To see how you prey Upon everyone’s fears You find out their secrets Then laugh as you share Breaking their hearts They just laid out bare But here’s a little something  I guess you didn’t know Those others you talk to See how you dim their glow They like themselves more Than they’ll ever like you They’ll have long walked away Before you’ll have your first clue So go wear your charm And spin your tall tales The ship that I’m on Has long set its sails Now I’ve risen up And I’ve slammed the door I won't allow you to imprint On my life  ANYMORE O...

THE TRUTH OF LOVE

-
Image
  The Truth Of Love Love means giving someone freedom While nurturing your bond And although it is magical It’s not made with a wand It isn’t built on fairy dust Or sealed with just a kiss It takes deep roots and daily care To grow a love like this It’s not control or ownership It’s not a silent war Real love will never cage your wings It will only help you soar It holds you close, yet lets you breathe It lifts, but doesn’t bind It sees your flaws and loves you still With honesty that’s kind It won’t be perfect every day And sometimes it feels tough But even through the hard and raw You’ll know that it’s enough So if you find a heart like this That helps you rise above Then hold it close, and honor it You’ve found the truth of love Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 8.21.2025
