The Guy I'M Dating Might Be My Brother Poem by Ramona Thompson

So very much alike
We get along so well
It's almost as if we've known each other all our lifes
It's almost as if we're 2 halfs of the same whole
Makes me feel a slight tingle of discomfort sometimes
Laying awake in the dark next to him
Thinking the unthinkable
Clues and hints dropped to me by my mother and friends
All of them warning me to please, please, please be ever so careful
Cos the guy I'm dating might be my brother

We've made plans
So many plans
Marriage, kids, the whole 10 yards
But will they all be shot down?
Will they all go up in smoke?
The fire of my desire
Drowned out by a truth so horrible that it just might kill me to know
That I'm so much closer to him then I first thought
Grossed out and screaming tonight
Cos the guy I'm dating might be my brother

Pulled almost all my hair out and his too
In a frenzy to learn what the real truth of the matter is
Is he or isn't he?
Are we or aren't we?
If anybody out there knows
Could you tell us?
Could you help us?
Before together we commit the ulimate in sin
Better tell me soon or I swear I'm gonna go stark raving mad thinking that...
The guy I'm dating might be my brother

Somewhere out there I have been told that a lost sibling does exsist
Still I just can't believe that fate would be so cruel to make him my lover
Still I can't shake this awful, awful feeling that it has
God and his angels laughing
From the heavens above
A cruel, cruel joke made at my expense
Tearing me up inside
Almost to the point of losing my mind
Determined to find out for sure today
One way or another I'm got to know

Right here, right now
Is the guy I'm dating.....?

My brother?
