And these are the things I wish I had said - when the opportunity arose...
***************************************************

I remember the hurt
And I remember the dread
I remember the pain from the things that you said

Your voice in my ear
Your words in my mind
Pushing your distaste at me all of the time

With nowhere to run
And no place to hide
There was no way to protect the little light in my life

Drank me down like a shot
And you swallowed it up whole
Wanting to drain me of spirit until the day I was old

You said it was for the best
And I'd miss you when you're gone
That you only did it to ensure that I would be strong

Then you called me to your side
To ask me for my good-byes
To search my face for love and for tears in my eyes

But you'd taught me much
And I'd learned those lessons well
So there were no tears from me as you slid into hell

Instead I held my peace
As stood there by your bed
And I'll dance on your grave once I'm was sure that you're dead

If I don't say it...who will?

A good composition imho. I like the straightforward writing style and facile word usage.

Having been somewhat on both sides of this, even recently... I shall go for nought but the odd Will S. quote here:

The quality of mercy is not strain'd.
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven.
Upon the place beneath; it is twice blessed:
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes:
'Tis mightiest in the mightiest...

I love it. Great write!
