Love Poem: Persistence

Persistence

Days go by
Weeks, months, even years go by
I fail every time I try
But I always manage to get back up
but the next time I double up
on my knowledge
Trying as if my life depended on it
Then I fail but I never quit
 I never let it break my spirit
I know my bliss will be of good merit
I think of the positive
to forget about the negative
I gather all my might 
Keep the prize in my sight
As I ride off into the night
To fight the glorious fight
That’ll get me a chance
to feel your soft hands
to see us prance
around a garden of flowers
to see us stand tall like the twin towers
but then like the towers
we fall together
Our love will never wither
The love we had for one another
Was so strong strong as ever
No one or thing could ever
stop us from being together
because days went by
months, even years went by
I failed every time I try
But I always managed to get back up
and I’d always double up
on my knowledge
Until that day
When I want all the pain to go away
I thought to myself
Are you worth my emotional health
I shouldn’t have to do this
For such a risk
You can break my heart
Right now your tearing it apart
What if in the end 
I have to fend
you off me
What if you hurt me
Then I’ll be the one who wasted their time
I can’t do anything cuz you didn’t commit a crime
Don’t get me wrong
I’ve not yet given up on our love song
I’ve merely looked about my options
I am still on my mission
I cant never give up
Because wen I see you all my feelings erupt
for you
So I’m still gonna do wat i gotta do
