THE THRILL OF A LIE

-

 


The Thrill Of A Lie


It’s easy to get lost
In the thrill of their lies
The kind we’ve heard whispered
From all the same guys

But the thing about lies
Is one day they unravel
Lost in the dust
With your tears in the gravel

You want to believe
You could live this dream life
Enchanted by thoughts
Of becoming their wife

I know we’ve all done it
Hell, I’m probably the worst
We fall for each line
Of the lies they’ve rehearsed

Oh, trust and believe
That I’ve been there before
Believing their lies
Stacked so high at my door

I just hope you remember
That it’s YOU that’s the gem
Don’t get caught in their snares
Or the traps set by them

And I hope you don’t think
I trash talk only guys
I know all too well
How we women spread lies

But this life we’re all craving
We can start on our own
We don’t need someone else
To share what we’ve grown

And no I’m not saying
That your heart should stay numb
But let’s all plant these seeds
And see what we’ll become

I know life’s a journey
That can be traveled alone
Let’s enfold it in truth
Not these lies we’ve been shown

Just please don’t get lost
In the words they profess
Because we all deserve more…
And we’ll not settle for less

This moving poem warns against the seductive allure of romantic lies, urging self-worth and independence over deceptive promises. Its rhythmic flow and relatable confessions create emotional resonance, balancing vulnerability with empowerment. The gender-inclusive twist and hopeful call to embrace truth add depth. A heartfelt, empowering pome on reclaiming one's value.

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
