I Once Called You Mine


Loving you was such a blessing
Losing you. The hardest lesson

They say that time will help you heal
The pain inside. The ache you feel

I just don’t see how that is true
When every thought’s consumed by you

And although our time had to end
I smell your perfume on the wind

And then I know you’re somewhere near
Your presence helps to calm my fear

I know one day we’ll meet again
And even though I don’t know when

I’ll wait for you until that day
And lift you up each time I pray

No matter the years or how old I’ve grown
You’ll always be the greatest love I’ve known

And from the heavens I see your light shine
And smile knowing, I once called you mine

Eryn, your poem "I Once Called You Mine" really got to me. It’s like you took the best and worst of love and laid it out plain. Loving someone being a blessing, losing them being the toughest lesson, that hits hard because I’ve felt it too. The way you say time doesn’t heal, how every thought just circles back to them, it’s like you’re reading my mind. And that bit about smelling their perfume on the wind, it’s so real I can almost catch it myself, keeping them close even when they’re not.
I love how you turn it toward hope, waiting for that day you’ll meet again. It’s not just sad, it’s got this quiet strength that sticks with me. That last line, smiling from the heavens knowing you once called them yours, it’s beautiful, like love keeps going no matter what. It left me with this ache but also something warm, like you tapped into a part of me that gets it. You’ve got a real gift, keeping it simple but so deep. Great work.

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
