"The Hardest Fight" by Janelle D. Pierce
The
hardest fight ever, is to be in love and still feel alone.
The
hardest fight is trying to convince that love where he should be.
The
hardest fight is trying to determine if you should push or fall back.
The
hardest fight is to set him free;
Free
with me or she.
Or
whatever it may be.
The
hardest fight is to talk about seeing him leave.
The
hardest fight is to want to believe. Want to believe he’s in love and loves me.
The
hardest fight is to not cry, or to be sad, and hear him sigh.
The
hardest fight is to see our child.
She looks
like him, even when she smiles.
The
hardest fight is to watch him walk pass and try not to look or even glance.
The
hardest fight is to fight my heart.
The
fear that what it wants, will tear us apart.
The
hardest fight is to have to lie.
In
order for him to be happy when I want to cry.
The
hardest fight is to stay on the same page. When all you want is to be enraged.
The
hardest fight is to call you baby, even when I know I’m not your lady.
The
hardest fight is that I’m not your Queen, even though, everyday, you are my
King.
The
hardest fight is to be in this scene. Knowing everyday, it’s not what it seems.
The
hardest fight is when we make love, it makes me fight harder to keep us above.
The
hardest fight is to say “I love you.” But to be afraid you won’t say “I love
you too.”
The
hardest fight is to be in love, when your love is someone else’s beloved.
The
hardest fight is within yourself, in your heart, when you realize your worlds
are far apart.
When
you thought “we” would always last, and he tells you that “we” are in the past.
The
hardest fight is to lay down separate at night and pray to God for strength
because this, indeed, is your hardest fight!
