All We Have To Be Thankful For - Anne Clark

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
