Obstinance

Always there
You never disappear
Staying close
I feel you when you’re near

I am alone 
no matter if you’re there
For few will know
The pain I have to bear

Your reassurances are void
I have seen you without such a ploy
Trust is limited
No reliance in it

I pray that you’re gone 
But I know you’ll always reappear
For this heart
Always aches when you’re gone

That says "Obstinance" very well! You're never there but you always come back! Welcome to PS.
