Dear Neighbor

By raspberry89

I apologize for relying so heavily on you   
I’m sorry for the times I put on or withdrew  
I never meant to confuse or push you away 
But I heard people talk-who were they  
Nobody could know what I’m worthy of  
I just wanted to feel some love  
As if a form of it actually existed  
All I get is conditional or twisted 
But words, poems-they pale in comparison to pain  
And those who drown aren't troubled with rain

    Yes sometimes the words are only shadows of the heartache, whispering to no one...I loved the last two lines...
