Two’s Company, Three’s a Crowd

The two – they feel always so fine,
Languish softly in each other’s arms,
Thinking not what by chance may become
Of the third odd-man-out left behind.

Oh wherever they go they can hear
Birds that sing to the beat of their hearts,
While the third rustles lonesome in rear
As a branch that's been tossed to the grass.

Oh they never will guess till it blossoms
How the winds that branch fiercely cast,
But, oh you, God all-seeing, show mercy,
Do not leave odd-man-out in the dark -

Who in glorious light of the two’s love
Is alone, stands unnoticed in rain,
Holds, so desperate, bunch of the flowers
Like the hair torn out in pain.

So sad and unfortunately I can relate to this one. Always the odd one out and lonely. Especially at family reunions or any kind of get togethers. People just do not understand why I don't want to attend. It's not fun being the only one on the Ark that isn't a pair.

Thanks for sharing Marikia.
