Hanging on for Dear Life


      A marriage, once strong, is slowly disintegrating.
      People and negative forces r a g e against them; 
        Laughed at in the trenches, yet, they fight to 
      Keep everything glued intact. They fight against 
        Gravity pulling their world down to the abyss. 

      They fight to keep their flame from dimming out. 
      Notwithstanding the hardships, what they have is 
      Still unbroken. Love remains their candle; the life, 
        The love, the family they've created; all worth 
        Fighting for. They're winning the war, it seems.
