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.

i cant listen because my tab will not let me But the words speak all on their own, So sad when someone is hurt by the two who are in love, makes Your heart ache

Hi Marikia,
A sad poem full of poignancy. Loved the clip of "Love of The Loveless". Thanks for sharing.
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.
