Facing an eternity without you
dispairingly weeping at every moment alone
heart sharded a thousand painful jaggered pieces
forever loving you to the bone.


Frozen in a collage of ghastly images
your final suffering my head disallows me to forget
I feel so guilty for the choices i made
So much love entwined with so many regrets.


I Hold on tightly to the final remnants of you
as heavily hearted i try to climb this thorny hill
the memory of you eternally engraved in me
living with an agonizing hole which will never fill .
This is dedicated to my beautiful loyal dog Betty who recently passed away in an awful way. I love her and will never forget how she helped me through all the hard times. I regret not putting  her to sleep before she suffered as she died of a really nasty fit as i stood there unable to help her. Her fit was caused by diabetes.  She was my best friend and I am lost without her. Rip My Betty xxxxxxxxxxxx

The orb of the night
Lights her murky trail,
Illuminates her bloodless skin,
Crimson lips, tear stained veil.

Shadows dance in her grace
Echoes her sorrow,
Enhances her loneliness
Her heart dead and hollow.

Drawn to her sanctum
Brought to her knees
Devoured in in the grief
A sombre disease.

Claret seeps from within her
Laid upon her thorny bed
The wintry night air chokes her
As her final tear is shed.

You leave me lying here.
Lost in your last words to me.
I cannot settle or rest
Picturing the way you looked at me so angrily.

No matter how hard I try to dislike or forget you
My heart injects me with the feel of your kisses
Your hugs and the things that only we do.

I long for you to be with me now
Comforting me in your arms
Telling me how much you love me
Protecting me from all my fears and all that harms.

But your not.

I am here so alone left to wither in my world
Cold, dark and isolated
You were my only warmth.
My only light.
These last few nights without you by my side, I have hated.

Thinking of never, holding you again
Or tasting your kisses is too much to contemplate.
You were my other half, my best friend
I wanted to be yours forever and have lost in you a soul mate.

Sadly, you will never find another love so faithful,
Devoted and true.
Another love honest, loyal and pure for you alone,
As mine to you.

How gracefully you move.
Lost so alone,
Wandering the twisted tracks of your,
Discontented mind.
Shut away from the outside world,
Detached,
Feeling like one of a kind.

Skin like porcelain,
Veiled behind your flowing ebony hair.
Intrigued I wonder: what goes on behind,
Those piercing blue eyes and,
Entrancing vacant stare?

Safely locked away in your,
Own secure domain.
With every ambitious note you play,
Your heart speaks.
Like fate once again, our paths have crossed.
We are together against them, so alone.
Your unique my beautiful freak.

Placid and unsounded vapour beauty.
Igniting the Starless gloom gracefully adrift.
I stand in awe entranced in her transparent, milky glow,
Delicate beauty, so fragile yet so swift.


Softly blinking a melancholic echo
Leaving a frosty dew wherever she roams
Beholden to the forsaken for eternity
Meandering soullessly so alone.

Bound inside
These walls of pain
No one to turn to unable to say.

I contemplate life
Insides numb
Heart frozen
Confusion pondered upon.

I sit alone just cannot face
The world outside
The human race.

Quashed by society
Pushed upon a ledge
Pressure building up
I balance on a ledge.

Life itself, infected by ill will
Causing erosion to my heart
Hardened against good in a callous way
I have known this from the start.

The pain the hurt, fear
And anger
Emotions I fail to cease
Go in together combine as one
Savagely waiting for its release.

Let go of in a noxious manner
An agitation of ones mind
As I set it, free on to someone else
How guilt causes me to subside.

Addicted to his sent
And the feeling of a heart beating
Next to yours at night
In exchange with putting up
With whatever he feels suits you
Reducing you to tears
Serving you a fright.

Preying on you vulnerabilities
You are like putty in his hands
He twists the key in your back forcefully
You entertain his every command.

Consumed by his own fears
And jealousy
Convincing his self that to your life
He has the right.

You take what he deals you
Emotionlessly
Just for a beat of a heart
Next to yours at night.

A dark void that is slowly
Burring me
Does not bear no name
I know nothing of why I am its chosen one
Or, what it stands to gain.

It places the visions in my mind
It pours the pills in my hand.
Overwhelms me with the feelings
That I will be at ease
If I leave this twisted land.

And as my heart beats on
It hollows out my insides
Holds my emotions captive
Thrives of the hour's I've cried.

Longing for it to release me
I routinely battle it everyday
Showing me no mercy
It makes a point it is here to stay.

Duo
Naomi Hartnell Feb 2010
Duo
Enclosed inside
I feel your warmth
Our bodies entwined
Entangled limbs torte.

A hypnotic tension,
Drawing us in
Lustful gestures towards
Each other: Craving.

A harmonic duo,
Ecstasy cries free
Expressing our love
The freedom to be.
- From Half-Devoured Heart
Naomi Hartnell Feb 2010
Open your half-devoured heart
And feed off me what you crave
Consume me of all my goodness
To your every desire make me slave.

And after you have dined off me
Replenished all that your past has starved
Confine me back to my little box
Which to your every need you have carved.

On my own,
Seems forever.
The only conversation,
Comes from within my head.
From my window I watch,
Other lives together.
My loneliness deepens,
Solitary fed.

You are my weakness
you show me no grace
eroding my sanity
Wiping that look of my face

I'm at your mercy
You're in control
My tears they don't faze you
just dig me a hole

And when it's all over
it was all in my head!
provoked you!
Drove you to it!
Was something i said!

This is my secret
I've no one to tell
To others we are normal
my own private hell

Oh how you prey
beautiful huntress of the night
seducing your next fix
quenching your thirst with every bite.

Draining away their vitality
lips tarnished with crimson copper red
engorged in a ****** motion
off them you mercilessly fed.

Not fazed by winters bleak moan
nor returning home till your hungers met
Treading the starless night alone
beauty disolved in sillouete.

It draws you in
And off you it feeds
You pity yourself without it
You think it is all you need.

Lost in your chilled out
Delusional place
Thrown back any lifeline
Which could replace.

Naive, you think it's
Harmless, recreational fun
A victim of the consequences
As it eats your insides numb.

Coming back to the real world
It grinds you, a constant itch
It plays with your mind aggressively
You’re seduced to your next fix.

My life is hanging
By a fraying thread
Which is straining with
Life’s corruption
And when it snaps
I will be dead
I thrive on thee
Anticipation.

Glass eyed,
Destitute stares,
Savagely consumed by this empty space.
I cry pleading to the hollowness of,
These four bleak walls,
But I do not hear, nor see another living soul,
Only the reflection of my despairing face.

I question my existence,
My tongue coated with the sour,
Taste of my own termination.
Thoughts shattered aspirations torn,
Deceased with this on going,
Feeling of devastation.

Entwined our love from deep within
Emotions we both do share
I pine your love
And want you so
It is underestimated how
Much I care.

Tenderly attached in a
Potent way
A connection between our
Hearts
The warming feeling when
You approach
I never want us to be apart.

The orb of the night
lights her murky trail,
illuminates her bloodless skin,
crimson lips, tear stained veil.

Shadows dance in her grace
echoes her sorrow,
enhances her loneliness
her heart dead and hollow.

Drawn to her sanctum
brought to her knees
devoured in in the grief
a sombre disease.

Claret seeps from within her
laid upon her thorny bed
The wintry night air chokes her
as her final tear is shed.

Fractured  heart, remaining defiant

Numb in the face of adoration

She could  have  it all

Relish his love

If it wasn't for

Her own self applied sedation





Insides bleak, cold like stone

A prisoner within herself

Banished to the dark

If only she would take the chance

Let him ignite her tormented heart

Her one true love

Him her spark.
Naomi Hartnell Aug 2010
Although I do try
To contain
These visions still protrude.
Left on me like a stain
Consume me like I am their food.

As flashbacks seep
From within me
Closure seems impossible to find.
Desperately longing to be set free
From this persistent slide show in my mind.

****** the life right out of me
Drained my soul won't set it free
Haunt me
Taunt me
Draw me in
You'll be my fate
I'll be your sin.

How you have afflicted me pain
What you have done to me
Does your conscience ever
Whisper my name?

Left in your filth
You left me to wallow
Where you aware of the consequences
To me that would follow.

Did you feel gratified?
Did you get your kicks?
As I laid there terrified
Out of me, you got your fix!

Couldn't you hear me crying?
Couldn't you feel my pain?
You’re the one, who broke me
Yet I am the one in shame.

Like a hurricane
In your soul
Knocking your emotions
In a turmoil.

Up heaving your bitterness
Reminiscing your past
Evil words the script
Your enemies the cast.

Blocked from minds view
Away from heartaches path
Hiding what you've been through
How much longer can you last?
- From Half-Devoured Heart
Naomi Hartnell Aug 2010
Everyday the knife is turned
Plunged straight through my heart.
No longer here, my other half
Because I did depart.

I feel so empty, in despair.
Long for you at night.
Life so dark full of pain
You were my only light.

And time I wish I could turn back
Now it is too late.
There will be no other one like you
First love and my soul mate.

Naomi Hartnell Feb 2010
You look at her
She has lost the will
Her desperation bleeds her
In her eye's you can feel
A pain that burns much deeper.

And as you stand,
And watch a while
Her eyes they stare
Right through you.
Bewildered how you have
Become this girl,
A reflection in the window.

What the hell
Is going on?
Can't you see that?
This is wrong!
Took me
Made me
Against my will
Your words don’t touch
You actions ****!


****** the life right
Out of me.
Drained my soul
Won’t set it free.
Haunt me
Taunt me
Draw me in.
You'll be my fate
I'll be your sin!
