[Chorus]
If I can't have mine
Then I guess I'll have yours
Just have a little taste
Of my anger in words
There's just no way
You could know it feels
To come so close
To something so unreal

[Verse 1]
Long ago it wasn't bad
I'd say it was the best
But little did I know that life
Would put me through the test
Trials hard and trials cruel
Oh how this life ain't fair
Wand'ring through the foreign waste
Adrift without a care

[Chorus]
If I can't have mine
Then I guess I'll have yours
Just have a little taste
Of my anger in words
There's just no way
You could know it feels
To come so close
To something so unreal

[Verse 2]
Pining for forbidden fruit
So close out of arm's reach
What other pain could this life have
To demonstrate and teach
I don't think I'll make it now
It's just too fucking hard
Just when I think I'm winning
Life plays the biggest card

[Chorus]
If I can't have mine
Then I guess I'll have yours
Just have a little taste
Of my anger in words
There's just no way
You could know it feels
To come so close
To something so unreal

[Verse 3]
The fairy tale was too fantastic
The passion it was worse
To climb up to the peak
Just to end up in the hearse
Memories of fighting through
The bitter biting snow
But little did I know that
The monster would eat me whole

If I can't have mine...
Then I'll have none at all
The anger's all dried up
It's no longer my call
I just wish you knew
How it felt to have lost
To give it your all
And pay the highest cost
I've never considered myself much of a poet, but I occasionally get the inspiration to jot down a few inspired lines. =)

while redundant in the way it is set up (chorus, verse, chorus, verse) It is very well written. Bravo.
