Ondanks Alles

Despite Everything

In their embrace there is no escape,
but a choice
to remain, despite everything that tries to tear them apart.

Yet they do not break apart.

Their hearts no longer beat separately,
but as one rhythm.
Their gaze is no longer divided,
but focused through the same eye.

Together they withstand what moves beneath them.

Not because the world grows still,
but because they are here for each other.
