THE ONE WHO LOVES THE LEAST

whenever there's two people
who contend they are in love
one will keep on pulling
when the other starts to shove

no one's ever equal
though they might pretend they are
one will be the planet
that revolves around the star

one will be left starving
as the other starts to feast
the partner who controls
will be the one who loves the least

whenever there's two people
who have hearts that intertwine
one will keep a part of it
and label it as "mine"

there'll always be imbalance
and a tipping of the scales
one is made to listen
as the other tells the tales

one will follow westward
as the other's heading east
the partner who controls
will be the one who loves the least

whenever there's a couple
who are joined up in a dance
one will be the person
who maintains the lesser stance

the roots of the equation
are two numbers not the same
one will be director
who makes rules up for the game

one will keep on trying
when the other's will has ceased
the partner who controls
will be the one who loves the least
