Niall sighed even though Liam assured their relationship. He still felt alone and confused.
Everything's an act,
When you're pleasing everyone.
And he assumes that role
To such renown.
He plays a perfect part,
Straight from his heart
Knowing the risk he takes
And hoping that the house
Is not brought down.
Niall stared as Liam was with a group of people. He could see Liam faking alot of the things he was saying.
The role of a lifetime, it's living a fantasy.
A drama that you struggle to erase.
Thoughts battle words over deeds
A war with such casualties.
All played out behind a smiling face.

He looked up to the sky his hands outstretched wanting some answers.

God I need your guidance
Tell me what it means
To live a life where nothings as it seems.
Spending days in silent fear,
And spending nights in lonely prayer.
Hoping that one day when you wake,
Those feelings won't be there.
He turned back to Liam who stared at Ivy like he was into her. Niall's heart ache. Every day he had to see this.
So confused because I feel complete with him.
When we're alone it all somehow makes sense
Look into his eyes for some compromise
Remember the word, forget
And try to bury something so intense.
Once everyone left Liam's smile left leaving him with a pain face he shook off his thoughts leaving the hall aswell.
You learn to play the straight man,
Your lines become routine.
Never really saying what you mean.
But I know the scene will change,
White picket fences, and a dog,
A trophy bride, and children.
God I know that's what he wants
But Liam what role do I play,
Am I a savior or a phase?
Am I here to damn you?
Or to help you navigate this maze.
Niall shouted out his hands clutching his shirt.
Where confusion is a crime,
So you fill your life with sound,
And if you dance like hell,
You hope you never touch the ground.
What happens when the music stops?
In the silence will he stay?
One day he'll realize that these feelings
aren't going away,
So we drive ourselves insane,
Spinning circles in our souls,
As we dance around and play pretend.
And once again,
Reprise our roles.
Niall sighed as he opened his eyes seeing that he was in a class. Daydreaming again.
