My heart ain’t bulletproof, it’s fragile as can be,
Each scar that I bear is a painful memory.
Love can be a weapon, it can hurt and cause pain,
My heart is a target, and I’m the one to blame.
I’ve tried to protect it, but it’s been shot through and through,
I thought love was the answer, but now I’m feeling blue.
The wounds may heal, but the scars will forever remain,
My heart ain’t bulletproof, and I’m the one to blame.

My Heart Ain’t Bulletproof

Holographic memories of you and I
Holographic memories of you and I,
A kaleidoscope of kisses and cries,
Captured in a cosmic canvas that can’t die,
A cornucopia of colors that coalesce and collide.The holograms hold a hundred histories,
Heritage of happiness and heartache,
A harmony of hope and hurt, a haven of mysteries,
Held in a holographic haze that’s hard to shake.The holographic hues hint at a hidden horizon,
A homecoming that’s both heavenly and harsh,
A haven of hearts held in a haunted haven,
A holographic harmony that’s both hazy and harsh.I see you in the holograms, and I hear your heart,
Hinting at a happiness that’s been hitherto unheard,
A hope that holds us together even when we’re apart,
A holographic memory that’s a haven for the heart.

I Get Hurt, I Might Cry
I Get Hurt, I Might Cry
I get hurt, I might cry,
It’s a part of life, that I can’t deny,
I wear my heart, upon my sleeve,
And sometimes, it’s hard to believe.That the ones I trust, and hold so dear,
Can hurt me so, and make me fear,
That I’ll never heal, from the pain they cause,
And I’ll be left, with endless flaws.But I know, that I’m not alone,
That others feel, the pain I’ve known,
And together, we can find a way,
To heal the wounds, and seize the day.For every tear, that falls like rain,
There’s a light, that shines again,
A hope that springs, from deep within,
A chance to heal, and to begin.So I’ll keep moving forward, step by step,
And I’ll keep trying, to find my rep,
I’ll wear my heart, upon my sleeve,
And I’ll keep going, always to believe.That I can rise, from the hurt I feel,
And I can stand, with strength and zeal,
And I can love, with all my might,
And I can keep going, into the night.

I wish to forgive
I wish to forgive
I wish to forgive, but can’t forget,
The things you did, the words you said.
You hurt me so, yet here we are,
Pretending like we’ve come so far.I wish to forgive, but can’t let go,
Of all the pain that’s in my soul.
I’ll laugh and smile, and play the part,
But deep inside, you’ve left a mark.So go ahead and say you’re sorry,
But I won’t believe it, not even slightly.
I wish to forgive, but it’s too hard,
To make fun of this, would be absurd.

Memories of Hurt
Memories of Hurt
Painful recollections haunt my mind,
Of moments that left scars behind.
The wounds may have healed, but not the pain,
Memories of hurt still remain.Time may pass and people may forget,
But the heart can’t forgive nor let,
Go of the hurt that was once felt.

Your words are poison
Your words are poison, venomous and deadly,
Dripping with toxicity and deceit so deadly,
They sneak into my being, wreaking havoc and pain,
And leave me with wounds that refuse to heal again.
You speak so well, with honeyed tones and charms,
Then leave me in a state, with shattered trust and harms,
Your false promises and lies have left me with damage,
That I struggle to keep up with, and can barely manage.
Your words are poison, bringing only hurt and pain,
And yet I keep returning, again and again,
Hoping somehow, magically, things will change,
Not realizing your toxicity, so deeply ingrained.
Like a snake lurking in the grass, waiting to strike,
Your words have brought despair, leaving me in a dark plight,
But I refuse to be your prey, anymore, no matter how hard you try,
Your words may be poison, but I am done letting them hurt me and my life.

Forgiveness is a double-edged sword
Forgiveness is a double-edged sword,
It can heal wounds, but also strike,
Sometimes it’s best to let it be ignored,
And walk away from the things we don’t like.
It’s hard to forgive and forget,
When the pain is deep and the scars are set,
But it’s also hard to hold onto hate,
And let it consume us, our hearts to abate.
Forgiveness can be a balm for the soul,
A way to find peace and make ourselves whole,
But it can also be a weapon of war,
Used to hurt, to wound, and leave a scar.
So we must be careful with forgiveness,
Not to use it to cause more distress,
But to use it to heal and to grow,
And to let our hearts and souls glow.

Broken girl
Broken girl
Broken girl, shattered soul,
Lost in a world she can’t control.
Her heart is heavy, burdened with pain,
And she wonders if she’ll ever feel whole again.She’s been hurt, she’s been betrayed,
Her spirit bruised, her trust decayed.
She tries to hide behind a smile,
But her eyes reveal the pain all the while.She’s a warrior, fighting every day,
Battling demons that won’t go away.
But sometimes the battles take their toll,
And she feels like she’s losing control.Broken girl, don’t give up hope,
You’re stronger than you think, you can cope.
Take a deep breath, find your inner peace,
And let your heart and soul release.The world may be cruel, but you are strong,
And with each day, you’ll inch along.
You’ll find your way, you’ll heal your heart,
And one day, you’ll be whole again, a brand new start.acceptance, battles, betrayed, brand new start, bravery, Broken girl, bruised, burdened, control, cope, courage, cruel, decayed, Deep breath, demons, determination, endurance, eyes, Fighting, grit, growth, heal, heart, heavy, hide, hope, hurt, Inch, Inner Peace, losing control, lost, Overcome, pain, perseverance, Release, Resilience, Reveal, shattered, shattered soul, smile, spirit, strong, Stronger, struggle, transformation, Triumph, trust, vulnerability, warrior, Whole, world

The Slow Burn of Longing
Longing is a fire that burns deep,
A slow burn that never seems to sleep.
It’s a tug at the heart, a whisper in the ear,
A feeling that’s both sweet and severe.It simmers beneath the surface, waiting to ignite,
And when it does, it’s a beautiful sight.
Longing can inspire, it can move us to act,
It can help us grow, and never look back.But it can also hurt, and leave us in pain,
A constant reminder of what we can’t attain.

Ex-Soulmate
Ex-Soulmate
An ex-soulmate, a story so sad,
A once-shared soul, now left feeling bad.
An exquisite existence, now ended and gone,
An ex-soulmate, a love that’s withdrawn.A broken bond, a heart that’s hurt,
A connection cut, now left in the dirt.
An ex-soulmate, a love that’s lost,
A lesson learned, at such a cost.© VishalDutia

My Heart is Frail #Poetry
My Heart is Frail
My heart is frail, so delicate and weak
It can break so easily, with just one single peak
My heart is fragile, so easily it can shatter
It can be so easily crushed, as if it doesn’t matter.My heart is frail, so easily it can break
It can be so easily shattered, with just one single mistake
My heart is fragile, so easily it can be hurt
It can be so easily damaged, as if it’s of no worth.My heart is frail, so easily it can be crushed
It can be so easily broken, with just one single rush
My heart is fragile, so easily it can be torn
It can be so easily destroyed, as if it was never born.My heart is frail, so easily it can be torn
It can be so easily destroyed, with just one single storm
My heart is fragile, so easily it can be lost
It can be so easily forgotten, as if it was never at all.© VishalDutia

The Most Painful Betrayals
The Most Painful Betrayals
The most painful betrayals,
Are the ones we never see coming,
They hit us like a bolt of lightning,
And leave our hearts forever numbing.The trust we had so freely given,
Is shattered into a million pieces,
Our faith in others is shaken,
And our sense of security decreases.We wonder how it could have happened,
And what we could have done to prevent,
The pain that now consumes us,
And the wounds that never relent.But in the midst of all the hurt,
We find a strength we didn’t know we had,
And we learn to pick up the pieces,
And move forward, no longer sad.For though the scars may linger,
And the memories may never fade,
We know that we are stronger,
And that we’ve overcome the shade.

Betrayal and Regret
Betrayal and Regret
Betrayal stings, it cuts like a knife,
Leaving us lost in a sea of strife,
Regret sets in, we wish we knew,
What we could’ve done to be true.Memories haunt us, like a ghost,
We hold on tight, but it’s all lost,
Betrayal and regret, a bitter pill,
That we swallow deep, against our will.

Words That Just Slip Out
Words That Just Slip Out
Words that just slip out,
Without a thought or care,
Can wound and hurt so deeply,
Leaving scars that linger there.They fly like arrows from the tongue,
And strike with deadly aim,
Leaving hearts in shattered pieces,
And souls in endless pain.Oh, how we must be careful,
Of the words we choose to say,
For they hold such awesome power,
To build up or break away.Let’s choose our words with care,
And speak with love and grace,
For in the end, it’s not the words,
But the heart behind the face.

Set Aside What’s Been Lost
Set Aside What’s Been Lost
The story inside my heart,
Is a tale of love and pain that I never could part.The walls of my soul,
Have told me time and time again, that I should let go.Let go of the hurt,
Let go of the pain,
And let go of the sadness that runs through my veins.Set aside what’s been lost,
And look for what’s been found,
For only then can we truly move onward and around.The past may be dark,
But if we just look past,
We can find a bright future and a hope that will last.So set aside what’s been lost,
And look for what’s been found,
For only then can we find peace and a place to abide.

Faith
Faith is in you whenever you look
At a dewdrop or a floating leaf
And know that they are because they have to be.
Even if you close your eyes and dream up things
The world will remain as it has always been
And the leaf will be carried by the waters of the river.You have faith also when you hurt your foot
Against a sharp rock and you know
That rocks are here to hurt our feet.
See the long shadow that is cast by the tree?
We and the flowers throw shadows on the earth.
What has no shadow has no strength to live.©VishalDutia

Thank You
There was a time where I would wake up thinking of you…
Counting the seconds until I would see you again…
I would breath thinking of you..
And would close my eyes at night hoping to dream of you…
I would melt just seeing your eyes…
And got transported to wonderland every time you kissed me…
That is how much I loved you…
I now still wake up thinking of you…
Not because I love you anymore…
But because I want you to be happy…
And because I want to wish you a good day…
Wherever you are…
Only time will tell if I ever fall in love again…
And I honestly can’t tell if you ever loved me…
But thanks to you I learned how to love…
And for that I want to say thank you…©VishalDutia

Aerophobia
You will have to speak up
For the hurt
You will reach heights
To escape life’s lowly sights
She will have to hear
All you have in here
Let go of your fears
This is what she needs
You need to tear her apart
To go back to the start
Tear into her
With a curse.© VishalDutia

How to hold a grudge
When you hold your grudge
handle it with care.
A grudge is volatile
and can become unstable without warning.
Close contact with your grudge for prolonged periods
will leave a stubborn stain.
Please wear the insulated gloves provided,
stay distant from others
and leave your grudge at home at all times.
Its weight will quickly increase with age,
put it down as soon as possible.©VishalDutia

Damaged
I want to tell you
What’s in my head
This entire other world
The constant droning of voices
The screaming and thrashing withinBut if I did
If I did…You’d never look at me the same
I’d be broken to you
DamagedI know that I am…
But I just…
I can’t let you see me like that

Falling hard
Roll me up
as a crisp packet
and dispose where no one will see.
Crush me
to ice on a snowy bank,
as soil on a no-dig bed.
Though
don’t make
eye contact for I
don’t have eyes that can stay,
they weren’t made for more
than casual harm, see –
pain hurts less than love,
your boot less than your lips.
No fingers through hair,
none laced between mine,
just
burn them, sear them,
throw knives upon them,
I can take that
but I don’t have the strength for your affection nor smile.

I’m at a loss
As I lay awake last night
Contemplating my life
I felt it in my heart
It hit me as sharply as a knifeI love you
And I know you already know
But I’ve only come to realize how much I truly do
I love you so much, That I don’t know what to do
Don’t know what to do with this love for youIt’s burning my soul
With its sheer amount and intensity
I am legitimately at a loss
at what to do with this densityDo I wrap it up and tuck it away?
Or do I allow it to have its way
Would I scare you off if I told you this?
Or would you give a gentle kissWould you want to escape from it?
Take your chance to split
Or would you be filled with happiness?
Feel the pure and raw tendernessIt scares me but I know
My self-awareness is rather slow
But now that I know what I know
It’s hard not to showI love you
I love you so muchThough what to do with this overflowing heart
I haven’t the slightest clue.

With You Gone
With you gone,
My eyes still see
My legs still move
My hair still grows
But my heart, it’s numb.With you gone,
My ears still hear
My knees still bend
My hands still touch
But my heart, it stops.The flowers will grow
The seasons will change
But with you gone
My heart is estranged.The sun will rise
The sun will set.
But you are gone
And I cannot forget.

My sadness
Pain conflicted.
Gain restricted.
Overdose.
Plain predicted.
flame addicted.
Comatose.
Kill a thought.
here’s another.
Take a Rose.
Thoughts convulse.
Caught no pulse.
Should I take a pill?
Todd you could! I will.

Betrayal💘 & Revenge🔫
You said you loved me.
You said you cared.
You said you want me.
Yes, that’s what you said.
You said you’ll protect me.
But you hurt me instead.
You said you’d stay with me.
But you left me for dead.
You said you’ll heal me.
But you watched me as I bled.
You said you’d hold me
So I followed as you led.
But you left me.
And you ran away, ahead.
You said you’d shield me.
But you’ve left me scared.
I thought you were my lover.
I thought you were my partner.
But you’re just a monster.
You’re one big motherfucker.
So I’ll haunt you forever.
I’ll be one step closer.
So prepare to meet your maker

Burn Bright #Poetry
You made me feel like,
the sun,
with your sweet words,
and love
orbiting around me.Then you left me to burn,
And I realized it was
your lies
trapping me in.

My Mask
I put it on, everyday.
I tried not to make mistakes.
Even though it’s full of cracks,
I still sit up and put on my act.
And though no one ever wants to ask,
I still get up.
And put on My Mask.

The Only #Poetry
Your honeyed words so sweet
However bitter the taste to come,
A sharp and clever tongue
Designed to ever make me numbYou spoke your way right to my heart
And gripped it in your hand
When you were finished scrying,
You replaced it in its stand“What did you see?”
“Only me.”

Stress
It eats you away inside out
It nibbles away at your pleasure
it feasts away on your dreamsIt laughs at your issues
It toys with your emotion
It plays with your heart.Your hearts raises
Your hand tremble
Your stomach dropsThere is nothing you can do
But pluck your hair out of your head
Because the silent killer is here
Waiting to take you to the door.

Headeache
POUND, POUND, POUND
my head is killing me
looking at anything hurts
it’s like if someone took a knife and
STAB, STAB, STAB
I don’t know why it hurts so bad
my eyes overflow with tears
it’s a migraine??
THUMP, THUMP, THUMP
there’s my heartbeat
it makes my head hurt worse
please stop
THRUM, THRUM, THRUM
I just want to sleep but I can’t
medicine not helping
what am I supposed to do?
POUND, POUND, POUND

Stuck
For the moment I am content
But I know it won’t last.
Soon I’ll be cast away at last
Reality’s been bent
from all the time spent
fighting with feelings that dried like cement.
I don’t know where to go
or what choice to make
Because it all might be fake
And there’s no way to know.
I could ask her, although,
She might ask for a break.

Who was it who loved more?
Who was it who loved more?
Who was it who was loved?
Where did the loved go?
Where has the lover gone?It was He who loved more
It was She who was loved
It was She who got up and left
It was He who stayed far away.Who was it who was dishonest?
Who was it who told the truth?
Where did the honest one go?
Where has the liar gone?It was He who lied about my feelings
It was She who openly said his own
It was She who got up and left
It was He who stayed far away.It was She who got up and left
It was He who stayed far away.
