a River Dried
How to rate you
In all the ways I hate you,
The times you always got on my nerves
The days I wish I could have torn your mouth out
Spilling over the edges
With your cursed words.
The times you belittled me
In every way imaginable,
The times inside you made me bleed
Driven by one thing
Your biggest weakness your relentless greed.
The days I knew my love was up
My feelings all but dried,
No more river sparkling blue and silver
Even though you deserved it,
However much you'd earned it
Still then I cried
and cried.

It seems to me
to be so unfair for one person to possess this power, and to use it to belittle the one who only wants to offer love in return. This seems to be way too common to. I am not sure who you are referring to, but it does not really matter, parents,friends boyfriends/girlfriends, the effects of belittling can be so destructive. You should not let this change you, or make you bitter, love conquers all, right? take care-Lee
Love
it's an impossible thing, something I don't think I'll ever grasp! this one is about me, when I was leaving an ex-not someone I'd like to see again, unfortunately...but that's life. thanks so much Lee :D ♥
The "BIG GREEN MONSTER"
comes at us in so many ways. You have clearly written here that greed is not all about money. But the greed of wanting to be loved, sucking dry from others and not returning it. Yes that is the worst type of greed because it leaves everybody emotionally and spiritually bankrupt.
Don't worry Jewel your damn will break and your river will flow once more :) thanks for sharing

Yes
that's what they were doing, wanting more than was possible-and not just leaving me bankrupt. Thank you for commenting Ron, always appreciate it :D ♥
don't let them be a vampire
don't let someone vampirize you, jewel. it's hard to let go of the feelings, but moving on is good and not letting them take away your energy is important. this is definitely a moving write, and i think you're good at expressing your feelings through words in an honest and real way.

it's the hardest thing, letting go, because it feels like you're too weak to hold on-I know what you mean though. thanks for your comment, really :D ♥
~The Reflection is Gone~
Jewel,
Relationships are like a mirror. When they work, we see something beautiful in ourselves; when they are broken, our reflection is missing. A one sided love affair is like a dry river bed, nothing flows. When love becomes one sided, life is distorted.
When life is distorted, all the shimmer fades away. When you find healthy love, you will reconnect with the shimmer of the river.
May all your rivers shimmer like jewels.
Warm regards,
Kathy

that's the best way of relating it to something, like the saying "one loves, the other is loved" when only one person is doing their share. thanks so much for reading this one Kathy D: ♥
They were Un-Deserving
Jewel,
I can’t be as eloquent as Kathy D, but it’s clear to me that whoever this was written about clearly didn’t deserve you and that the cuts you received won’t leave scars.
This is superb writing, heartfelt and i was on your side from the first to the last line.
Peter.
Thank you Peter
Though I do have a few scars, but also a class A make-up concealer! thanks for commenting, this is one I wrote when I was feeling really low-so thank you :D ♥
I shall look to words of the
I shall look to words of the Gorillaz band,
"And then things got all... messy."
And I wish you the best of luck, Jewel, in cleaning up. Very nice write. ^_^
Ah, sums it up pretty perfectly
messy...yup, I'd describe it like that :P thank you for reading this one, I've still got my mop and bucket-better go get cleaning x) ♥
