Burn Louise Dearman

[ELIZA]
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
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 mе defenselеss
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 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"
