the hardest part
The hardest part
 Isn’t doing it, and it
 Isn’t watching the pain flash across your face,
 If only for a moment
 It’s not even watching you recompose
 Knowing you can see my pain too.
 
 The hardest part
 Isn’t hiding it
 It’s not even hiding behind it,
 Like a force field,
 Using it to shield you from myself.
 
 The hardest part
 Isn’t knowing it’s wrong,
 And doing it anyways
 With the thought of you 
 In the back of my mind.
 
 The hardest part
 Is the part you play,
 The role you hold 
 Almost every time.
