THE KEY

THE KEY

I can’t stop my tears,
Why am I crying?
I feel like my spirit,
Is slowly dying.

The weight of my sorrow,
Is heavy, unkind.
It burrows so deeply.
Through soul and through mind.

Yet somewhere within me,
A whisper remains.
That even through heartache,
There’s strength in my veins.

So let the tears fall,
They’re part of the fight,
For healing is born,
From embracing the light.

And though I feel broken,
I still hold the key.
To rise from this darkness,
And set my soul free.

The dawn will remind me,
That shadows don’t last.
Hope blooms in ashes,
Of pain that has passed.

For deep in my spirit,
A bright flame did survive.
So I might still be grieving…
But I’m learning to thrive.

this poem is absolutely stunning! The way it captures the raw ache of grief with lines like "The weight of my sorrow / Is heavy unkind" is so visceral and real it hits straight to the heart. Yet the shift toward hope, those glimmers of strength and the "bright flame" that survives, feels like a warm embrace reminding me that even in the darkest moments there’s a path forward. The rhythm flows so naturally carrying me from pain to resilience in a way that’s both cathartic and inspiring. I’m in awe of how beautifully it balances vulnerability with quiet power. Truly this is a masterpiece that speaks to the soul!

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
