Desire vs. Ability

So close yet so far,
Determined, Perseverant,
But never confident, 
I walk to win a match, 
Desire vs. Ability, 
Ability will improve, 
if it’s a tie. 
Desire will never win, 
for for it to do, he must be able to. 
Desire has enough with a tie, however,
for the heart is watching and is happy enough,
seeing both of them win, after all the failures. 

Yet the heart cannot withstand seing desire lose.
