Mama, How I Miss You Mama, how I miss you Life is not the same I have survivor's guilt I feel like I’m to blame I’m supposed to carry on But I don’t know how to do it How can I keep going Without you here to help me through it Some days I hear your whisper In a breeze or a moonbeam But when I reach to hold you You vanish like a dream I try to be so strong I smile, I fake, I cope But deep inside, I’m begging For one more thread of hope I wish that I had said more I wish that I had known That you’d be gone so quickly And I’d face this world alone I talk to you in silence I cry when no one sees I hope you hear my aching heart When I drop down to my knees But maybe love like ours Can never break or die And maybe when I miss you You’re the warmth behind the sky But sometimes in the quiet When I’m crumbling at the seams I feel you wrap around me Like sunlight in my dreams Mama, how I miss you I hope you know how much you meant I swear you’re here right now For I smell your powdered scent...

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

From The Flame I loved you more than words could show, But love can’t bloom where cold winds blow. You left, and still I learned to stand, With trembling heart and open hand. At first, I begged the stars to mend. The silence carved where once was friend. But prayers can’t hold what won’t hold back, And hope can break when hearts go slack. You chose the door, and rang the bell. A quiet exit. No farewell. Yet here I am. Not wrecked. Not small. I cried. I broke… But did not fall. Your absence taught me how to bend. Without the need for you to tend. And in the echo of your name, I built a fire from the flame. I stitched my soul with threads of grace. No longer longing for your face. You left a wound, but I’m the cure. A love like mine will always endure. So when the past comes back to call, I’ll meet it strong. I will not crawl. I loved, I lost... But now I  see. The one I needed… was always me. Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 7.3.2025

  What Time Won’t Heal Time will not heal every wound Like a plant that cannot be pruned It has a beginning but has no end A Willow branch that cannot bend A path, a grove that gets no light No stars, no moon to fill your night A pain so deep in waters still It breaks your heart, it tests your will That soul who will not come around They are of this world, not in the ground But they have chosen to let you go And the loss of them has dimmed your glow They walked away. They are gone All you can do is carry on A lifetime of pain that is all too real  Yes, some wounds time will never heal Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 7.3.2025

Canva AI Image The Words We Didn’t Say It’s the words we didn’t say. That killed us in the end. For when you walked away. I lost my best friend. Our relationship lost meaning. The little things we used to do. The good times and the bad times. Everything that we went through. No longer seemed to matter. When you walked out that door. It’s like we just gave up. It wasn’t worth fighting for. And I’m supposed to be able. To start over one more time. Yet I’m not even able to write. My words no longer rhyme. Yes, it’s what we didn’t say. That I feel with such regret. That brought us to our end. A love I can’t. I won’t forget. Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 5.19.2025  

  Man O’ War I would have dimmed my light To let your own star blaze. Stared at you contentedly As I got lost in your gaze. I would have flown a spaceship Up to outer space. If there was even half a chance That I would get to see your face. I’d happily traipse through the desert Or fight a man o’ war. Just to have spent the day with you The man that I adore. But what I won’t do is change myself for you  For I am happy as I am. Instead, this is me walking away Because I no longer give a damn. Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 5.19.2025

  Canva AI Image Patterns Will I ever be truly ready, to fall in love again? If the answer is yes… then how, why, where, and when? Am I standing in my own way? Is it a pattern I can break? I just don’t think I can handle, another bad heartache. Am I the problem in the relationship? Is it me who will always fail? Or have I waited far too long and that ship’s already set sail? Can someone please help me, make sense of this turmoil in my heart? It’s the honest truth… I don’t have the first clue where to start. I fear that rabbit hole is trying to grab me one more time. And if no one will lend a hand, I might not survive another climb. So maybe I’ll go tuck tail, and stay safely in my protective bubble. That way I won’t have to worry myself about anymore heartbreak trouble. So if you have any advice, that you would not mind sharing with me.. I think I’d finally be on my way, to living my life more happily! Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 5.7.2025

  Canva AI Image I Don’t Chase We are through, and I’m done trying. I'm sick of all your constant lying. Our relationship has been slowly dying. And I’m not willing to continue crying. When we met, I was sure it was fate. I had thought, we were doing great. I wanted to wipe clean the slate. Do not worry, I will not retaliate. But I’m feeling lost. Need to break free. I will not be a victim, willingly. If only I could have made you see. That you had it all when you had me. It's not the first trial I have had to face. I will not miss your embrace. You will be so easy to replace. But I'm walking away... Because I don’t chase. Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 4.25.2025

  Canva AI Image Brick By Brick I want you in my life. I want our shared connection. But I’m so traumatized. I’m scared of your rejection. Never have I wanted, Something more than this. To feel your arms around me. To get lost in your kiss. But I am too damn fearful. Afraid to just say yes. To wrap my soul around you. To feel your soft caress. My walls have shut you out. But I want to let you in. It might take a while to tear it down, But I’m ready to begin. Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 4.30.2025

  Canva AI Image Finding Grace How much more am I to take? Each night in bed I lay awake. My pain for you, it runs so deep. It seems my eyes can only weep. Losing you is so unfair. I’m left down here, while you’re up there. You’re a beautiful angel. I’m just a person. God, this grief seems to only worsen. Answer me! Give me a sign! Tell me that you’re doing fine! I need to know that you’re okay. My heart breaks more every day. Anything at all, you could say or do. To help me survive a life without you. I think I’m slowly going insane. Because I’m lost in unbearable pain. How am I to carry on? Now that you are truly gone? I’m falling down this rabbit hole. Slowly, as I lose control. I smell the scent of your perfume. It permeates through every room. This wasn’t how it was supposed to end. A long life of love, with my best friend. Your death was not what we had planned. Of growing old, hand in hand. I feel bereft and all alone. I’ve lost the greatest love I’ve known. What is thi...

  Canva AI Image 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 Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 3.27.2025

  Canva AI Image The Pain of Loss No one teaches you how to grieve. The pain you feel when loved ones leave. How some days you can’t get out of bed. Or the endless tears your eyes will shed. I can’t believe that you are gone. I don’t know how I can move on. I pray to God with desperate pleas. I need more than your memories. I miss your voice. I miss your face. Your calming words. Your soft embrace. But would I choose to never know? How it felt to bask in your warm glow? The answer never seems to change. There’s nothing I would rearrange. We’ll meet again. I promise you. You’re the greatest love I ever knew. Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 3.26.2025

  A KISS OF BETRAYAL Canva AI Image I TASTE IT IN YOUR KISS I know how you say that you really did miss me How hard it is for you to try and resist me But I already know that you’re gonna diss me I taste the lie in the way that you kiss me You’re such a master at the way that you twist me It’s very obvious that you’re gonna dismiss me Thought this was love but I no longer receive it You could have been honest but you chose to deceive it I’ve started the process. And I’m gonna grieve it This love that is broken.. well, I plan to leave it You think I am lying but I’ll make you believe it I’m leaving my stuff. I’ll be back to retrieve it This isn’t what I thought I'd signed up for Please be a dear and hold open that door Don’t come at me or I’ll even the score To think, I’d never felt love like this before You stand there and watch as away I now soar This is the last time you’ll ever hear my love roar Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 3.3.2025

  Canva AI Image VERBAL VENOM (Possible Trigger Warning) Can I ask you a question? Will you tell me the truth? I don’t mean to sound crazy Or come off as aloof. But someone in my life Is very abusive. What I’m about to say Might seem slightly intrusive. They are wearing me down. I don’t want to be near it. Their energy’s negative. I wish I could clear it. They learned the abuse From their own childhood. But the trauma their inflicting Cannot be withstood. They don’t hit.. only yell To them it’s an improvement. Rather than ending the cycle They continued the movement. They blame it on us. Say it’s all our fault. We can’t take much more Of this verbal assault. The tears that I cried From just yesterday. So much hate in the words That they choose to say. I’m a bitch, I’m a cow I’m a failure at life. No wonder no one Ever made me their wife. My son is so lazy And getting too fat. I’m a bad mom Who created a brat. I finally lost it Couldn’t take any more . Found my inner voice Replicate...
