She clutches on to 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 |
