As people Usually Say
People usually say
The beginning of the day
Is when you wake and see
The love of your life beside you.
But that doesn't count for me;
Whose lover is truly my brother.
He's so blind
He's so dense
He couldn't make any sense
Of these feelings.
But who am I to say
When I've always felt this way
How wrong he is to
Love another.
I've kept it quiet.
A deep dark secret.
The truth I've had to
Hide.
But how should I feel
When she comes around
And I am no compare
As he stares me down with his unloving
Glassy stare.
So I'll keep these emotions hidden
Safely locked away.
And I'll wake up by myself
At the beginning of everyday;
As people usually say.
