Generate meaning
1
I saved every letter you wrote me
2
From the moment I read them, I knew you were mine
3
You said you were mine
4
I thought you were mine
5
Do you know what Angelica said
6
When we saw your first letter arrive?
7
She said
8
"Be careful with that one, love
9
He will do what it takes to survive"
10
You and your words flooded my senses
11
Your sentences left me defenseless
12
You built me palaces out of paragraphs
13
You built cathedrals
14
I'm re-reading the letters you wrote me
15
I'm searching and scanning for answers in every line
16
For some kind of sign, and when you were mine
17
The world seemed to burn
18
Burn
19
You published the letters she wrote you
20
You told the whole world how you brought this girl into our bed
21
In clearing your name, you have ruined our lives
22
Do you know what Angelica said
23
When she read what you'd done?
24
She said
25
"You have married an Icarus
26
He has flown too close to the sun"
27
You and your words, obsessed with your legacy
28
Your sentences border on senseless
29
And you are paranoid in every paragraph
30
How they perceive you
31
You, you, you
32
I'm erasing myself from the narrative
33
Let future historians wonder how Eliza reacted when you broke her heart
34
You have torn it all apart, I'm watching it
35
Burn
36
Watching it burn
37
The world has no right to my heart
38
The world has no place in our bed
39
They don't get to know what I said
40
I'm burning the memories
41
Burning the letters that might have redeemed you
42
You forfeit all rights to my heart
43
You forfeit the place in our bed
44
You sleep in your office instead
45
With only the memories of when you were mine
46
I hope that you burn
