Bound by Heartbeats

She painted the world in colors too bright,
A sister lost in dreams that hid her fright.
He trembled at shadows, feared the end of days,
Yet never turned from her, in love’s steadfast gaze.

When she stumbled, when the world broke her wings,
He caught her sorrow, bore all the stings.
Her failures, her fears, she laid them bare,
And he whispered, “I am here, always there.”

Through nights of despair, through silent cries,
They held each other beneath unseen skies.
Her visions, his terror, together entwined,
A bond unbroken, hearts fiercely aligned.

Though the world may break them, may try to sever,
He will not leave her, not now, not ever.
In tragedy’s shadow, their love became light,
Two souls unyielding, clinging through night.
