Only Worse Remains

For Better or for Worse

Nervously cast towards a wide open sun

Left adrift to sink to the sea floor of the soul

Forgotten to erode among the salt of time

Until a dark ship’s light shines

Raised into the cold ocean wind

Only Worse remains

Carved into a weathered map of pain

Better dissolves in the swirling sands

Victim to the current of a moon’s unconscious plan
