Death by Persistance

You sit in the distance
across the open plains
beyond a hundred obstacles
ninety-nine to be passed
each taking one more step to conquer
time is not an issue
only time will get me by
after each challenge
my heart moves on to the next
this last obstacle stops me though
beyond the fog is you alone
enclosed in a glass case
unshatterable, indestructible
you block out everything
I can not enter a closed heart
So I lay in the grass beside you
and decide to die trying
