Paul’s Valentine

Holier than thou
I would try to be
But you would
Always beat me
Like when you sat up
In the dead apple tree
Above the sleeping lake
With our little brother
And I took your picture
Which in time became
Stranger than time itself
A drying puddle after rain
Leaving this stain
I left you there
To live our lives apart
Is there a greater mystery
Brother than a heart
