Pervicacity

eventually they came.

to compromise.
the perfect example.

of stubborn love. 

and the world was.

birthdays bouncing.

for moments more. 

than begging long.

when they were young.

it was cold. 

now it's hard hot. 

and death is better than pain.

good thing.

the opposite of everything.

is standing on the stoop.

with a can of tuna for tomorrow. 

learning like they did.

all these years.

not reading the past.

any longer, begging.

they will keep.

until they sleep. 

proving persistence is key.

to locked forevers.
