For Better or For Worse

Damage to the fabric of time and space

Those horrid atrocities they can’t erase

Long gone are the perfume and lace

Those loving things you can’t replace,

This night that wounds time

Neither righteous nor sublime

These things they try to confine

You have yours and I got mine,

Love is a state of mind

Can’t be researched or refined

Some say that you become blind

Some go as far to say it’s unkind,

It comes when somewhere from the past

Someone you recognize in a former life at last

Sadly, it does not always last

Like actors in a script we are cast,

Those emotional wounds are real

Like a gunshot injury you can feel

Sadly though they don’t always heal

Oh Lord, what’s the deal?

The attraction of us like stars and dust

Gravity created from loneliness and lust

As the asteroid strikes earth’s crust

It’s scoured by powerful wind gusts,

Nature reclaims what is hers

Man becomes a trinket in the universal purse

Perhaps it's just a cosmic curse

To marry for better or for worse.
