DANCING WITH YOUR GHOST

Dancing With Your Ghost


The pain I feel’s unbearable
As I mourn my dearest friend
But I’ll keep dancing with your ghost
Until the day we meet again

You were more than just my friend
You were my other half
The one who always found a way
To make me belly laugh

It never seemed to matter
All the miles in between
In my eyes you were a hero
And to you, I was a queen

So yes, I’ll keep on dancing
With my arms around your ghost
And until that day we meet again
Each night, to you… I’ll toast

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

THIS. TIME.

  THIS. TIME. They’re trying again… To rip me apart. My pain and my trauma, Dismantling my heart. That I’ve been attempting … Worked on it so hard. To piece it back together, Without the bits that are scarred. Don’t think I’m winning. Kinda feels like I’m lost. But I absolutely have to win, No matter the cost. Because I can’t become her. Can’t be that girl again. She isn’t strong enough. She’ll only take us to the end… And then it’s over. That’s all she wrote. I’m screaming from my lungs, Tearing up my throat! Maybe this time, I should ask for help. Actually ask out loud. Not some fake mental yelp, That no one can hear, Because it’s just in my head. Don’t wanna wake up, Dead in my bed. So this time. I’m gonna call out your name. No longer hiding behind, my guilt and all my shame. Yes, this time. Gonna grab hold of your hand. Help pull me out, Of this sinking sand. Yes, This time. The whole village if needed. Won’t give up on my new life. I won’t be defeated! Oh yes. This time. I’m ...

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...
