NO MORE BAGS LEFT TO UNPACK

Image
Canva AI Image No More Bags Left To Unpack My loneliness is killing me I find it hard to breathe And losing you was just too much  I find that I still grieve I guess it wasn’t hard for you Since you were the one to leave The one who never had a problem With trying to deceive But here I sit, by myself Lonely and afraid Wondering what things could’ve been  If you had only stayed I’m the one that got left behind In a love that you betrayed I don’t think it’s very fair  That I’m the one who paid I used to be so endlessly Lost inside your stare Building dreams on fantasies That we would always share To think that once I had thought That you might truly care When all I’m left with now inside Is a feeling of despair Yes I know it’s over And I don’t want you back At the house that we once called  Our Lovely Little Shack But I am not some fragile egg That’s going to easily crack Day by Day, with my strong will My life is more on track Yes, things are so much better now There’...

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  

MAN O' WAR

Image
  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

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

Untitled - A Poem By: JT Cartwright

My darlin, I hope you're out there making a way in this world. I hope that joy and happiness is healing your heart. Please Love, take your time. Your healing is so important to me. For my heart is healing as well. And I can't hold both our hearts in the same hand. I fear mine would damage yours. I want to be two parts of a whole. Not two parts of parts. So please Love, take all the time you need. I'll be here healing and patiently waiting for you to come home. Original Poetry Written By JT Cartwright Copyright (c) 2025 Published By Eryn Dunbar

I DON'T CHASE

Image
  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

I SAVED MY SOUL

Image
  Canva AI Image I Saved My Soul You stole my heart You fucking thief I don’t know how To end my grief I’m feeling lost I’m not myself You’ve really fucked My mental health I tried so hard To make you see That I am layered There’s more to me But all you saw Was my face You tried to steal My inner grace So I up and left I walked away I remember it rained On that day Now I’m free And I’ll soon be whole For by leaving you I saved my soul Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 4.25.2025

THE GHOST OF YOU

Image
Canva AI Image The Ghost Of You I’m not gonna tell you a lie. I’m not doing that well. I miss you so damn much. I’m going through endless hell. One day you up and left. I don’t know where you went. I fall asleep holding your pillow. Because it still holds your scent. Left all on my own. Since you have been gone. You made it look so easy. But I just can’t move on. What about your mail? I don’t know where to send it. The way you disappeared. I can hardly comprehend it. I seem to have lost count. Of all the tears I’ve shed. The pain is overwhelming. So much was left unsaid. I didn’t see the signs. You left without a warning. So I sit here alone. Our love, I am still mourning. Now I am a broken shell. One half of a soul. Where once I was complete. Now I am not whole. All the years spent together. Must have been a waste of time. My writing has lost all meaning. My words have lost their rhyme. One day I’ll come to terms. With the fact that we are through. But until that day finally comes. I’...

NEVER AGAIN

NEVER AGAIN Not even once Or never again I won’t fall for your lies I won’t let it happen Gonna fight my way out Gonna set myself free You’re a rabbit hole I won’t go down willingly Once, shame on you Twice, shame on me No ifs, ands, or buts No I guess, or maybe No second chance But for you, not a first We haven’t even dated Yet I can tell you’re the worst So go somewhere else Please leave me alone You remind me of others I have already known I won’t allow you in So turn and walk away There’s nothing you can do No words that you can say I’m an adult You’re a man child Your type of poison Has never come mild So just turn around Walk back to your car The only place I want to see  you  Is from afar Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 2.19.2025

MY SALVATION

MY SALVATION The way my wrist was held so tight Has left a permanent abrasion Each day I cake my makeup on No matter the occasion You get mad at me throughout the day If I make the smallest deviation No longer allowed to go to work I no longer have an occupation You made me think that I’m unworthy You are a master of manipulation I’m only allowed to build you up You require constant stimulation It use to be love but now it’s fear That causes my heart a palpitation  I want my life and story back You’re no longer allowed to do the narration I need help and I need it now I want out of this situation In the end, it’s you going down Because I’m backed by the entire nation By the kindness of strangers and with my God I have finally found my salvation Karma will find you and you will pay  With a fiery eternal damnation * If you are a victim of Domestic Violence, please call the hotline at 1-800-799-7233. www.thehotline.org You are not alone. At the very least reach out to me, and I w...

LOVE WON'T LIVE HERE ANYMORE

LOVE WON’T LIVE HERE ANYMORE I gave you all my trust and love  You had it from the start I thought I knew all I needed to And that you’d protect my heart I can’t believe I failed yet again This is my biggest regret How could I not have seen through you At that point, we'd not yet met But when our hands fit together perfectly Mine wrapped in yours, just like a glove I knew that all my doubts were wrong  And that this was true love I pushed aside the warnings  And the few bright red and neon flags I kept it in the back of my mind Like that voice that always nags And later on that little voice  Would try to talk to me in bed I’d shake it off, laugh to myself And block out all she said At 49 I still want to think Love is real, and not a myth You don’t know, until you bare love's scars From all that you’ve dealt with I don’t know if I have any pieces of my heart left After losing so damn much I no longer care if I’m all alone Or ever feel another person’s touch How I ever...

DON'T BLINK

  Don’t Blink - An Original Poem By Eryn Dunbar ©️ I recently had someone say, “Don’t Blink”. The years pass by, faster than you think. He’ll be a teenager before you know it. Of course he still loves you. Just doesn’t show it. How is it possible? I’m both proud and depressed. We’re growing apart. It’s making me stressed. Want him to be self-reliant. But please still need me. Knowing that one day soon, I’ll end up lonely. Love watching him grow. He gives me a purpose. But then I am weak, when old memories resurface. Hard to loosen my grip and break this hold. He’s a teenager. I’m fifty years old. But I want him to succeed. I just want more time. I don’t think holding on is really a crime. I know I can do it. Where there’s a will there’s a way. I can get stronger, day by day. Will it be hard? Yes... No... Maybe. Because even when he’s grown, he will always be my baby. I look forward to the day when I can buy him a drink. But till that day comes, I just won’t blink. Poetry Written B...

I AM CHOOSING ME

  I Am Choosing Me If we ever end, Will I be able to move on? Wake up every morning By myself at early dawn? Continue living life, Knowing that you’re gone? You gave an ultimatum The line, it has been drawn. And now I have to make a choice You are demanding action. My mind is feeling scrambled Like a chemical reaction. But my anger, it is burning bright And it’s building up in traction. In my opinion, love shouldn’t be  Some type of work transaction. You made me deeply love you I still feel like I am falling. But if we truly end You will never see me crawling. My tears, they will not shed You will never hear me bawling. And when I’m talking on my phone It won’t be you that I’m now calling. So I am choosing me I am no longer choosing you. We have come to our conclusion You and I are really through. I thought you would be my future But I am trying something new. And to myself I will be loyal To myself I will stay true. Poetry Written By: Eryn Dunbar

I CANNOT GET YOU OFF MY MIND

*Just to be clear... This poem is not based on factual events! I wrote it, I did not live it or experience it and I know no one who has. I do not condone this type of behavior in a relationship. I most certainly don't condone gun use in this way! Thank you and if I haven't scared you off already, please enjoy the poem! Lol* I CANNOT GET YOU OFF MY MIND I cannot get you off my mind You won’t release my heart How am I supposed to move on When I can’t stand that we’re apart Our love lives on in my dreams You consume all of my thoughts I’ve pulled off all of the rose petals And did the love me/love me nots I stalk you on your media page I drive by your house late at night How am I to carry on When I’m addicted to your sight I wake and there is still no call But in truth I barely sleep How am I supposed to move on When my feelings run this deep Show me how you do it You make it look so easy But the thought of no more you and I Just leaves me feeling queasy You walked out that door T...
