Dissipate: to squander.

By cre

I would have felt sorry for you
And the child that you used to be
I know that somewhere inside, it still hurts
And believe me, I would have seen.

I would have hugged you tight
And wiped away your so-sad tears
I could have been an angel in your darkness
For all those lonely years.

I would have let my little hand
Rest with comfort in your big, rough paw
I could have helped to chase away
The demons that I'm sure you saw.

I could have let my trusting eyes
Rest on you with most sincere care
I would never have let you be alone
As long as I was there.

I could have been the tiniest light
To shine upon your way
And if ever you needed company
I would have been glad to stay.

I could have been so many things
But instead you chose the worst
You would have had a blessing in me
If you hadn't killed me first.
