I have a brother.
He doesn't share my blood
But we share a life
Hidden from others.
I've known of his every lover
And he's known of mine.
We've known eachother
Though we'll deny it.
I love him for his mind,
He loves me for mine.
No, I lie.
He loves me for my body.
I know his darkest desires,
His hopes and his shame.
He knows my dreams;
I've tried to hide my failings.
We've been lovers -
But only at night!
When dark deeds
Can be hidden
When the sun is out
We sit and laugh
Like brother and sister, but
The kind that don't fight.
I've known of his every lover
And he's known of mine.
We've known eachother
Though we'll deny it.
My every love
Competes with him
Even though
They don't know it.
He's married now.
The wedding was last month.
I didn't go
But I will see him soon.
I know his bride.
But I will not see her.
He and I will spend some
Time together - family time.
He doesn't share my blood
But we share a life,
A life which will remain
Hidden from others.
