  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

  Devil's Playground Canva AI Image Devil’s Playground You always make jokes, saying you want to play around. But I’m not sure I want to play, on your Devil’s Playground. You’re always real quick, to say that I should meet your friends. If we start writing this book, I’m scared of how it ends. You always invite me over, but never before dark. I feel like I’m swimming at night, and being chased by a shark. So maybe I shouldn’t answer, the next time that you call. Should start adding more bricks, to my protective wall. The next time you reach out, I think that’s what I’m gonna do. I will not answer the door and I’m gonna push away from you. So no, do not come over. You’re no longer welcome to come around. And the answer’s a firm no. I won't play on your Devil’s Playground. Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 2.19.2025

Canva AI Image  KEEN AS A KNIFE If steel sharpens steel, then consider us sharp Wound tight like the strings of a beautiful harp I’d back away slowly and don’t touch the blade Or you might fall beneath and become one of it’s slayed The instruments are more dangerous than their players I'd drop to a knee and start offering up prayers Yes I am saying we’re as keen as a knife Don’t come any closer or you might lose a life The spell once put upon you has now been lifted By a powerful witch who is thoroughly gifted So don’t just walk away. I’d suggest that you run Or your life will be forfeited before it’s begun So let’s make it clear so you’re not left to ponder Death is waiting for you… on the path that you wonder So watch where you step and make all the right turns  Or things will go wrong and you'll be feeling Hells burns Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 2.19.2025

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

  Canva AI Image Echoes ECHOES If my emotions have an echo, Will the echo ever fade? Or will I keep reliving them? Is that the price that’s paid? The darkness. It’s never ending. I cannot escape the shade. I try and keep on running but.. No progress is ever made. Cannot seem to crest the hill. Never make it to the glade. But I see every piece of grass. Every single, unique blade. Always letting myself down. Like a failing grade. So tired of the hurt and pain, But not healing from the jade. Why are there no answers? For all the times I’ve prayed? Always reaching for someone. But no one has ever stayed. The echoes keep on coming Like a song that is replayed. I can’t handle too much more. My nerves are truly frayed. I think I have my answer. It’s me who’ll start to fade. I’m gonna embrace my echoes. And attempt to no longer be afraid. Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 2.19.2025

Canva AI Image Selflessly SELFLESSLY You might not think what you did was big. But to me it was a gift. To you, a simple gesture. But it had the power to uplift. And for that I'm so endlessly grateful. You created  something beautiful out of something hateful. To me it changed my outlook. My mood for that whole day. There’s so much power in one’s words. In what they want to say. So you might think it’s nothing. Just a normal day for you. But to me you stopped the pain, that was already slicing through. You reminded me of who I am and what I’m really worth. What you did for me today. Well you’re a blessing on this earth. And maybe you will never know, what you now mean to me. Where others tried to tear me down.  You healed me selflessly. Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 2.20.2025  

Think Twice You think that you can break me? I'm stronger than I look. However you’re a narcissist, Off the pages of a book. One of us will lose this fight. I promise it's not me. I won’t be your punching bag. Nor a victim, willingly. I feel bad for all the others, That you got to first. Knowing that’s how you get off, Quenching your sick thirst. I have all their backs.  I’ll fight for each and every one. I’m giving you a head start, So boy, you’d better run. I promise I will catch you.  And it’s you that’s going down. You don’t deserve to be a king. I’m gonna strip you of your crown.    We are not scared of you, So boy, you had better think twice. Because in the end it’s gonna be you, That will always pay the price. Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 2.17.2025

Looking for an Alien abduction adventure? Look no further.... Let's make a production  Of an alien abduction I'll make an accommodation If you'll bring an accordion  No need for aggravation  Oppression or aggression There will be no annihilation  Body or Soul appropriation Armageddon or ascension just an adventurous audition To become awakened Poetry Written By William Pope Poetry Published By Eryn Dunbar

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...

YOUR LOVE Your love is like a warm embrace Elegant and full of grace Your love is like a soft pillow Sitting under the Willow Your love is like a ray of sun Shining on your morning run Your love is like a bright full moon We'll bask in it in the lagoon Your love is like a slow pace dance The beginning of a new romance Your love fits like the softest glove I swear you're sent from up above Your love is what dreams are made of You will always be my forever love Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) Sept. 2024

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

OUR BEGINNING AND OUR END WE STARTED OUT STRONG BUT THEN FADED TO BLACK I THOUGHT THAT I'D MISS YOU BUT I DON'T WANT YOU BACK THE GAMES THAT YOU PLAYED, WHERE YOU'D STRING ME ALONG I THOUGHT YOU WERE MINE BUT I GOT IT ALL WRONG NOW HERE I'VE MOVED ON BUT YOU'RE WANTING BACK IN WE COULD HAVE BEEN MAGIC BUT YOU WERE ALL ABOUT SIN I'M LOCKING MY HEART'S DOOR, YOU CAN'T RETURN HOME I NO LONGER CARE WHEREVER YOU ROAM YOU'VE LIED AND YOU'VE CHEATED AND I'M GLAD THAT YOUR GONE I'VE FOUND MY OWN PATH, I'VE FOREVER MOVED ON ORIGINAL POETRY WRITTEN BY ERYN DUNBAR COPYRIGHT (c) JULY 2024

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...

  MOMMY (Trigger Warning) Abortion (From A Baby’s Point Of View) I know that man hurt you, Three months ago. That I’m a surprise, And you’re starting to show. But please don’t keep walking, And go through that door. I just want to stay. I want nothing more. Mommy! Mommy! You’re scaring me! Please don’t do this! Please hear my plea! I know you’re just trying, To find an escape. From the memories of Your horrible rape. And this isn’t the best, Of circumstance. But I beg you, Mommy! Just give me a chance! You think I’ll only remind you, Of that nightmarish night. You feel alone and afraid. You’re in fight or flight. But I promise you now. That I’ll give you strength. Please don’t give up. Don’t go to this length. Don’t walk through that door. Please don’t give in. Please let me exist. Let my life begin. Mommy! Mommy! You’re turning around! You’re changing your mind! You’re standing your ground! You’re not giving in. You’re not gonna run. I thank you and promise… I’ll be the best son. ...

  A GIRL AND HER CROWN I wish I could see myself through your eyes, The wonder and awe that you can’t disguise. Your love is so pure and I’m so undeserving, Wait…your love, so intense…that it’s almost unnerving. You’re always watching me now and controlling my days, I can never break free from your dark wicked gaze. But I’ll run out that door and never turn back, Escaping from you and your constant attack. You made me fall hard…feel so safe and secure, The love that you showed me…so fierce but a lure. Then like day turns to night or the lights turn back on, Your love became evil…so twisted and wrong. After building us up you started tearing me down, You wanted a prisoner…not a girl and her crown. Well I’m not a weak woman so let that sink in, You want to play games? Oh I know that I’ll win. I’ve dated your type and it’s hardened my heart, Made me so strong I can tear you apart. When I’m done with you…when I take you down, You’ll no longer be able to take anyone’s crown. Original Po...

  I Could Be Anything I was once told When I was 4 years old That I could be anything I wanted At 17 I learned what that would mean And all my dreams became daunted At 25 I still failed to thrive With no dreams to be flaunted At 49 I embraced my shine And now I no longer feel haunted Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 2.5.2025

  I’m So In Love With You I don’t want to be second fiddle I’m not okay being number two But I can’t seem to walk away Because I’m so in love with you You call me when you’re bored When you have nothing else to do And I stupidly answer the phone Because I’m so in love with you You tell me about your breakups How you and her are through And I hang on every word Because I’m so in love with you You tell me that you love me But your words do not ring true But I believe them anyway Because I’m so in love with you I wish we’d never met That you were someone I never knew But I just can’t seem to walk away Because I’m forever in love with you Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 2.7.2025

YOUR SCARS   Copyright (c) 2.7.2025 You hide behind the scars Left behind by other men Vow never to be open Scared pain will come again The hurt that they created Cut you to the core Made you decide to face this world Alone forever more. You came into my life Or I came into yours We connected through your words Neither knowing what was in store. Quickly sharing our stories Of life and loves gone by The bond it came so easily We didn’t have to try I got to know the person The mirror couldn’t see Those scars others made Look like beauty marks to me All the good and all the bad That led us up to here Made you the person I adore With the heart I hold so dear I can’t hide the love I have for you And the person that you are All pieces and the cracks I even love your scars Poetry Written By: Dave Poetry Published By: Eryn Dunbar
