MAMA, HOW I MISS YOU

Image
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...

PURE AND TENDER

Image
Canva AI Image Pure And Tender I’m falling to pieces Like a puzzle unfinished I move like a zombie With my vision diminished Which way do I turn My path is unclear Being lost and alone Is my greatest fear If I reach out my hand Will you pull me close I need your courage Like I need a dose Will you be my companion Will you walk with me Will you show me the way Or will you only flee I desperately need you My partner in crime I feel like I’m starting To run out of time My heart’s feeling frozen My emotions are numb So my arms are wide open You need only come Please come to me I need your strength I’m willing and able To go any length Your love gives me power You’re one of a kind There is no one better That I’ll ever find So let’s walk this path Us two together And share in a love That will last forever I reach out my hand To you I surrender Two lives joined as one In a love pure and tender Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 6.17.2025

THE WORDS WE DIDN'T SAY

Image
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  

You Complete Me - A Poem By: Adam Akers

"You Complete Me" In the puzzle of life, I was lost and alone, Until the day I found you, my heart's sweet home. You were the missing piece, the final part, The one that made me whole, a work of art. With you by my side, everything's in place, The pieces fit, the colors match, the love's in its space. You're the missing beat, the rhythm that I need, The harmony that makes my heart sing with glee. In your eyes, I see a love so true, A reflection of the love I feel for you. You complete me, in every single way, You're the missing piece that makes my heart stay. I love you more with each passing day, Forever with you, is where I'll stay. You're the sunshine that brightens my day, The stars that light up the night, in a loving way. You're the calm in every stormy sea, The safe haven where I can be me. With you, my love, I feel complete, Together our love will forever repeat. I promise to love you, through all of life's strife, You complete me, ...

BENEATH NIGHT'S SKY

Image
  Beneath Night’s Sky In every shadow And whispered word I call your name But I am not heard I walk in darkness Or in moonlight Channeling My second sight I search for you In the sunlights beam But I only find you When I dream And to be honest That’s not enough I’m chained to you With this ethereal cuff How am I To let you go When your love Is all I know I’m overwhelmed With such grief I crack and break Like a falling leaf I’m a woodland nymph That can no longer fly I seek you out As I softly cry But you are gone And you won’t return And for your love I will always yearn There’s an affirmation That I need to say So I will chant it Every day “I am stronger Than I look True, you stole pages From my book” “But I’m not weak I’m only brave And I will no longer give More than you gave” Now I let you go And I wave goodbye As I walk alone Beneath night’s sky Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 5.9.2025

PATTERNS

Image
  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

Please my love Do not just kiss me goodnight Kiss me all through the night For when the darkness comes that's when I need you the most. Original Poetry Written By JT Cartwright Copyright (c) 2025 Published By Eryn Dunbar

FINDING GRACE

Image
  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...

BENEATH THE WILLOW TREE

Image
A Willow Tree Canva AI Image Beneath The Willow Tree   I saw you today, beneath the willow tree.  I’m glad you’re at peace and finally free. From the pain that ravaged your entire body. It held you so tight and so cruelly. Watching you suffer while I stood helplessly. I’ll be honest with you. I miss your sweet face. And being held in the warmth of your gentle embrace. You are someone I could never replace. That’s why I come so often to your resting place.  Just to be near you. Wrapped in your grace. And so I update you about what’s going on. I swear I hear your laughter even though you’re gone.  I think you’d like my new friend. His name is John. He used my poetry in his latest song. And he makes me feel like the most beautiful swan. He truly makes me shine. Such an alluring glow. Don’t worry yourself. We are taking things slow.  Our lives woven together, while the both of us sew. Now it’s getting dark, so I’d better go. But I’ll be back tomorrow, when the sun’s...

When Two Souls Collide - A Poem By: William Pope

When two Souls collide When two Souls casually collide They're lucky if they recognize  The shared journey of past lives Of lovers, husbands & wives Observing two shooting stars in the sky Awakening histories of forgotten lives A reminder of the wanting heartache To reconnect, the longing to be awake To awaken from a life of slumber Stop the ambling directionless lumber Finding the courage to begin a new path Having a mission, with a purpose, alas! Demanding to be your life's Executer Begin questioning all admiring Orbiters Claiming the inalienable right of happiness Finally eliminating your unholy loneliness  Intentionally accidentally touching hands Looking for any evidence of a gold band Respectful of boundaries, avoiding actions  of unnecessary embarrassing indiscretions Poetry Written By: William Pope Poetry Published By: Eryn Dunbar

JADED

Jaded The older I get  The more jaded I feel  I fantasized about love  But now know it’s not real  At least not for me  At least not yet  So much heartache  For me to forget  I want passion  Wrapped in someone’s arms  Sweet words flowing  Always spouting charms  Surrounded by love  I’d be so grateful  But so far it’s only been  Vicious and hateful  I want to be needed  To know that I mattered  Pick up my heart's pieces  From where it’s been shattered  I don’t want to be jaded  Treat me like a jewel  Show me kindness and warmth Not something wicked and cruel  Shower me with your love  Wash away all my pain  I want to be your Queen  I’m ready to reign  I know I sound desperate  But I’m desperate to feel  Please show me this love  The kind… that is real  Original Poetry Written By  Eryn Dunbar  Copyright (c) 1.28.2025

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 ...

THE YOU AND THE US. THAT EXISTED IN MY DREAMS

When I'm lost and alone, With nowhere to turn, It's you that I crave. And your touch that I yearn. But I can’t keep giving in. Every time I’m feeling weak.  Running back your way.  You aren’t the one that I should seek. Yes I remember the good.  But the bad always had more power.  When we very first met,  You’d call me a rare, beautiful flower. So why, if you loved me so deeply,  Did you always cause your rose to wilt? Our home wrapped in lies and deceit.  No basic fundamentals when it was built.  I know it’s a bad decision.   So why does it seem like it’s easy to make?  But after a lifetime of many wrongs,  I won’t allow another mistake.  And what am I missing exactly?  The fights, the yells, the screams?  No. I’m missing the you and the us. That existed in my dreams. And I know all of this!  Yet my heart still craves the past. When I’m at my lowest.  And since you were my last.  I guess that’s why....

WHY

  WHY   An Original Poem By  Eryn Dunbar  Copyright (c) Jan 2025 Do you ever ask yourself the question of why? Why do it again? When each time you cry? Why do you always end up with that guy? Why? When they all have that smile that’s wry? Why even bother to attempt a retry? Why put yourself out there? They all seem to lie? Why? When it always end in goodbye? So I’ve finally stopped asking. The question of why. Poetry Written By: Eryn Dunbar (c)

Never - A Poem By: Dave

NEVER  When you’ve not been prioritized Always in second place Even when you address it They lie right to your face You want to believe them So you continue the same way When deep down inside You know your being played It’s always been the same The problem must be me I don’t know what I’m doing wrong Wish I could know what they see It’s lonely at the bottom Of everybody’s list If I just disappeared one day Would I even be missed I’m tired of the feeling That I will never be enough Try so hard to be the top Can’t seem to measure up One day I’ll step away From everything that’s been Search out a new place Where I can start again Until then I will ponder How my life would be If what I gave to others Had been given back to me Poetry Written By: Dave Poetry Published By: Eryn Dunbar
