If I Can’t Have You

You smile like bullets through my chest,

Each glance a wound I can’t suppress.

You live in light, I drown in shade,

But I still watch the games you played.

I kept your name beneath my skin,

Wrote it with a rusted pin.

You kissed the world, ignored my cries—

Now love’s a blade behind my eyes.

⸻

I whispered prayers you never heard,

You looked right through my final word.

If I can’t hold you, I won’t let go—

You’ll never leave, not with a soul.

⸻

If I can’t have you, then no one will.

I’d rather end your breath than feel

You give your touch to someone new—

I swear this grave will bloom for two.

You were the spark, but now you’re flame,

And I’ll erase who knows your name.

Call it love, call it thrill—

But if I can’t have you, then no one will.

⸻

I watched you dance in someone’s arms,

You laughed like I meant you harm.

But darling, love is not a game—

And now you’ll scream it with my name.

I built a shrine of broken things,

Hair and lace and wedding rings.

My heart’s a knife I can’t conceal,

And you’re the wound I need to feel.

⸻

I’ve traced your path a thousand times,

You run, but I erase the lines.

There’s no escape, no fate to flee—

You’re not alive unless you bleed… with me.

⸻

If I can’t have you, then no one will.

I’d rather end your breath than feel

You give your light to someone new—

This love was carved in black and blue.

You were the cure, but now you’re pain,

A requiem that screams my name.

Call it love, call it kill—

But if I can’t have you, then no one will.

⸻

[Bridge – (Spoken / Whispered)

You said forever, even in lies.

Now you’ll wear it between your cries.

I’ll hold you close, where no one sees—

Six feet deep, just you and me.

⸻

[Breakdown – (Screamed)

Mine or nothing!

Mine or gone!

You made me this—

You led me on!

⸻

[Final Chorus – (Haunting / Soft then Explosive)

If I can’t have you…

Then love must burn.

Your heart was never mine to earn.

But I’ll make sure you never stray—

We’ll sleep where roses rot away.

No vows, no god, no final thrill…

Just you, just me…

And no one will.
