Burn |
I saved every letter you wrote me |
From the moment I read them |
I knew you were mine, said you were mine |
I thought you were mine |
Do you know what Angelica said |
When we saw your first letter arrive? |
She said, «Be careful with that one, love |
He will do what it takes to survive.» |
You and your words flooded my senses |
Your sentences left me defenseless |
You built me palaces out of paragraphs |
You built cathedrals |
I’m re-reading the letters you wrote me |
Searching and scanning for answers |
In every line, for some kind of sign |
And when you were mine |
The world seemed to |
Burn |
Burn |
You published the letters she wrote you |
You told the whole world how you brought |
This girl into our bed |
In clearing your name, you have ruined our lives |
Do you know what Angelica said |
When she read what you’d done? |
She said, «You have married an Icarus |
He has flown too close to the sun.» |
You and your words, obsessed with your legacy |
Your sentences border on senseless |
And you are paranoid in every paragraph |
How they perceive you |
You, you, you… |
I’m erasing myself from this narrative |
Let future historians wonder how Eliza |
Reacted when you broke her heart |
You have torn it all apart |
I am watching it |
Burn |
Watching it burn |
The world has no right to my heart |
The world has no place in our bed |
They don’t get to know what I said |
I’m burning the memories |
Burning the letters that might have redeemed you |
You forfeit all rights to my heart |
You forfeit the place in our bed |
You sleep in your office instead |
With only the memories |
Of when you were mine |
I hope that you burn |
