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 mineDo 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
In every line
For some kind of sign
And when you were mine
The world seemed toBurn
BurnYou 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 youYou, 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
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'll sleep in your office instead
With only the memories
Of when you were mine
I hope that you burnI smiled as I knocked on the door of Regina's house. I've been away for awhile and i couldn't wait to see her again. Be home again. She opened the door with tear-stained cheeks and red eyes and my heart dropped to the pit of my stomach. "What are you doing here?" She asked and my heart broke. "I'm here to see you..." I said softly. She shook her head. "Did you not think I would see it Emma? Did you not think Zelena would've told me? Or anyone for that matter?" She asked in a broken voice. I took a deep breath. "Let me explain." I said desperately. "No. I don't want to hear your explanations. I don't want to hear anything you have to say. Ever again." She said and I teared up. "I get it Emma. You're a big politician who travels the world. I understand all the people you meet. But when you decided to marry me, you decided to be with only me. I have been nothing but loyal to you. Even when Zelena warned me of you. I stayed. Because I love you. And you betrayed me. I can never forgive you Emma." She cried and I began crying. "I'm so sorry. Please Regina." I cried softly. She shook her head and closed the door in my face. I cried as I leaned against the door and the memories flooded my head.
I bit my lip as I wrote the letter. This could very well end my career, as well as my life with Regina. I have to clear this up though if I want to be president. But surely she'd never find out... she stays out of politics.. "The charge against me is a connection with one Robin Locksley. For purposes of improper speculation. My real crime is an amorous connection with his wife for a considerable time with his knowing consent. I had frequent meetings with her. Most of them at my own house. Mrs. Swan with our son being absent on a visit to her father."
Several days later, there was a knock on my office door. I smiled seeing Zelena. She was one of the closest people to me besides Regina. And right now I could use a friend. "I came as soon as I heard." She said softly and i bit my lip. "Thank goodness. Someone who understands what I'm struggling here to do." I said desperate and she shook her head. "I'm not here for you." She said and my heart broke. "I know my sister like I know my own mind. You will never find anyone as trusting or as kind. I love my sister more than anything in this life. I will choose her happiness over mine every time. Put what we had aside. I'm standing at her side. You could never be satisfied. God, I hope you're satisfied." She said angrily and i teared up as she left. She was all I had other than Regina. And now I'll lose them both for sure. I ran my fingers through my hair as i closed my office door and leaned against it. How could I have done this? I didn't even want Marian. But she was so helpless... she begged me. She was miserable with him.
I cried on the porch as I remembered it all. Marian came to me while I was walking outside one night. I hadn't slept in a week and i was delirious. And she told me he was abusing her, among other things. I walked her home and gave her money and she wouldn't let me leave. She begged me to fuck her. And then after he found out, she begged me to pay him off so I could stay with her. She didn't get that I didn't want her. She didn't care. And now I've ruined everything. My career... my life. Everything.
An: so... this is based off hamilton. I have more plans in mind and I may continue writing it but it depends on if y'all like it.
