All we have to be thankful

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
There's nothing that will keep them together
She makes love
He makes time pass a little less painfully
One and the same
This time it could be everything
It's emough reason for staying
It's enough to make you want to die
The hardest part is trying
not to make a menn of it all
It's all we have to be thankful for.
