ECHOES


If my emotions have an echo,
Will the echo ever fade?

Or will I keep reliving them?
Is that the price that’s paid?

The darkness. It’s never ending.
I cannot escape the shade.

I try and keep on running but..
No progress is ever made.

Cannot seem to crest the hill.
Never make it to the glade.

But I see every piece of grass.
Every single, unique blade.

Always letting myself down.
Like a failing grade.

So tired of the hurt and pain,
But not healing from the jade.

Why are there no answers?
For all the times I’ve prayed?

Always reaching for someone.
But no one has ever stayed.

The echoes keep on coming
Like a song that is replayed.

I can’t handle too much more.
My nerves are truly frayed.

I think I have my answer.
It’s me who’ll start to fade.

I’m gonna embrace my echoes.
And attempt to no longer be afraid.

Another great piece of your work the jaded part I understand with repeated betrayals and abused . I'm aware of guys hoping to be different enough to break a cycle or rescue the injured woman I'm also guilty of thinking like that but maybe it's human nature. I have to be truthful in all I say and honest with my actions, a law I live by. I've been a care giver and rescuer my whole life and I shared with you my life so you understand why that is. What's more profoundly touching is understanding others yet not ones self. My quest for peace didn't come easily because I was made to believe I wasn't worth anything good so I had to encourage myself. I hope you can reach that place in you soon

Thank you for your thoughtful comment. The part about the Jade was actually referencing the crystal version which has healing aspects to it. Lol I know sometimes what I write is a stretch of the imagination.

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
