No More Bags Left To Unpack


My loneliness is killing me
I find it hard to breathe
And losing you was just too much 
I find that I still grieve
I guess it wasn’t hard for you
Since you were the one to leave
The one who never had a problem
With trying to deceive

But here I sit, by myself
Lonely and afraid
Wondering what things could’ve been 
If you had only stayed
I’m the one that got left behind
In a love that you betrayed
I don’t think it’s very fair 
That I’m the one who paid

I used to be so endlessly
Lost inside your stare
Building dreams on fantasies
That we would always share
To think that once I had thought
That you might truly care
When all I’m left with now inside
Is a feeling of despair

Yes I know it’s over
And I don’t want you back
At the house that we once called 
Our Lovely Little Shack
But I am not some fragile egg
That’s going to easily crack
Day by Day, with my strong will
My life is more on track
Yes, things are so much better now
There’s no more of your bags left to unpack

Eryn, your poem is absolutely stunning! The raw emotion you pour into every line hits so hard, capturing the ache of loneliness and betrayal with such vivid clarity. I love how you weave vulnerability with resilience, especially in those final lines where you reclaim your strength. The imagery of "no more bags left to unpack" is so powerful, like shedding a heavy weight. Your words are beautiful, and your heart shines through in every verse. Keep writing, because this is truly special.

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
