Xiao & Aether angst

七

You're a liar

Xiao put down one of the boxes that belonged to Aether.

I wish it weren't true,

He stared at the contents for a long while. Missing the days when they were both on good terms.

I wish the thousands of lies you told me were close to the truth.

"Well maybe if you weren't at work all the time this wouldn't have happened!"

Half a lie, one half to pass time the over to convince me otherwise.
Your eyes are deceiving, your sight brings those around you a bitter taste on their tongues.

"I'm working because I have to!"
A liar, no good, a thief of the truth. A liar has no place in understanding the old and new.

"You never gave me any time, even when you were off work!"

Lies are bittersweet, some tell adventure while some share defeat.
But you lie for game, you lie for fame, you lie so the camera can aim your way.

"This world doesn't revolve around you!!"

You're a liar, I wish it weren't true. Cause out of all the lies you had told me.

"Heh...Maybe we were never good together anyway. I never meant it when I said I loved you."

I would still always believe you.
