All We Have To Be Thankful For

She clutches onto his protruding hips For dear life Going down She is going under She wishes he were emotional Or something approaching tenderness Outside the weather beats a little harder Than her heart Not even this will keep them together She makes love He makes time pass a little less painfully One and the same perhaps This time it could be everything It'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 all It's all we have to be thankful for. --- All We Have to Be Thankful For - Anne Clark
