Mythology

Sometimes you just need to hear the words. Because you never have and you may never unless.

They don't need to be true. Just there. Something to hold.

Something to keep the nails on your fingers from digging into your palms.

Sometimes all you want is to be lied to, because the truth has always been so selfish.

The things no black skirt can amend. The way the prettier you make yourself appear, the uglier you feel. All those orphans left stranded after you've culled the moments you're willing to remember.

It's always over, but it never is.

There are only so many times you can tell yourself it isn't over because it never began, before you wonder if it even can.

They're just words. Not even sincere, but sometimes that's the most you can expect.

Sometimes you just need to hear the words. And when you finally do, you wish you never had.
