WHY 

An Original Poem By 
Eryn Dunbar 
Copyright (c) Jan 2025


Do you ever ask yourself the question of why?
Why do it again? When each time you cry?
Why do you always end up with that guy?
Why? When they all have that smile that’s wry?
Why even bother to attempt a retry?
Why put yourself out there? They all seem to lie?
Why? When it always end in goodbye?
So I’ve finally stopped asking. The question of why.

Eryn expresses frustration and disillusionment with repeated negative experiences in relationships in the poem.

She questions why she continues to engage in romantic endeavors when each attempt leads to sadness ("each time you cry").

Eryn ponders why she repeatedly chooses partners who seem insincere or untrustworthy ("that smile that’s wry," "they all seem to lie").

There's a recurring theme of disappointment as her relationships inevitably end ("it always end in goodbye").

Ultimately, Eryn decides to stop questioning ("stopped asking") why she keeps going through this cycle, suggesting a resolve to either accept the situation or to move on from such patterns.

This poem captures Eryn's emotional exhaustion from cyclical heartbreak and her contemplation of giving up on seeking answers or solutions to these patterns in love.

Try not to question my decisions when they were thought out, but I do find myself often asking why when I've changed my behavior and the outcome was same or worse.

It is frustrating and a pattern that I can't seem to break. My solution to the problem is to just stop dating. Which is what I have done. Thanks, Zeus.

I have come to the conclusion that I am the problem.

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

  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
