Persistence

Why?
Why do I have to be so persistent
So persistent
On earning trust
And love
When I know
That it may never come
Not in the forms
I wish it to be in
At least
It comes when I least expect it
And then
I'm so persistent on holding on to it...
But if I blink even once
It's gone..
As if it was never there
My persistence has taken me over
I don't know when to stop
Every where I walk pain follows
Like I am Death
Hell rides behind me
Never failing to destroy what I love
Even if I ask it to stop
Even if I fight for my right
It never works
For my demons
Are as persistent
As I
