And We Thank Her

    AND WE THANK HER

here is a song
about what should not be.
we are chained -
& insane.
but we were too blind to see
"the pain" on the way.
from the start this was wrong.

so here is a page
that wipes clean the slate.
our cage -
the heaviest cross
that we'll ever bear.
why'd "we" wait?
now "we're" trapped in this state.

& we thank her -
just for being here.
for giving us hope -
for easing our fears.
we've fallen for one -
we can't keep . . .

feeling her heat
burning up our sheets.
that scream -
knocked off of our feet
on our knees.
we're drowning in time
to a desperate beat.

& we thank her -
for just being near.
for giving us hope -
for easing our fears.
we've fallen for one -
we can't keep.

the godz have sent us
a true friend to call ours.
can't pretend -
or amend what we feel.
want to keep her near
but can't change her plan
as she just moves on.

& we thank her -
for just being near.
for giving herself -
for creating the tears.
we've fallen for one -
we just can't keep . . .


& we thank her.
