All We Have To Be Thankful For

--------------------------------She clutches onto his protruding hips
for dear life
Going down
she is going underShe wishes he were emotional
or something approaching tendernessOutside the weather beats a little harder
than her heartNot even this will keep them togetherShe makes love
He makes time pass a little less painfully
One and the same perhapsThis time it could be everythingIt's enough reason for staying
It's enough to make you want to die
The hardest part is trying
not to make a mess of it allIt's all we have to be thankful for
It's all we have to be thankful for
