Eliza fell to her knees when she found out the news.
After everything she has done for Alexander, he burned her heart into ashes.
She got up and ran to her desk, grabbing some letters and lighting a candle, she sang so she can calm down.
"I saved every letter you wrote me
From the moment I read them
I knew you were mine
You said you were mine
I thought you were mine.."
She took a breath and continued singing.
"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
I'm searching and scanning for answers.."
She felt tears ready to run down her face, but tried not to sob.
"In every line
For some kind of sign
And when you were mine
The world seemed to..."
"Burn
Burn.." She took some letters and burned them.
"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."
She remembered Angelicas face of fury, as if she would fight you at any second.
She began singing louder, still burning papers.
"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 the narrative
Let future historians wonder how Eliza
Reacted when you broke her heart
You have torn it all apart"
She began tearing papers, her tears streaming down her face.
"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...."
She sobbed, wiping the tears from her face.
"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"
She watched the letters burn, her tears were gone.
Her heart, the world, and it all seemed to
Burn.
