First Burn by Shoba Narayan, Arianna Afsar, Julia Harriman, Lexi Lawson, Rachelle Ann Go

I saved every letter you (1)__________ me
From the (2)____________ I saw you
I knew you (3)________ mine
You (4)________ you were mine
I thought you were mine

Do you (5)________ what Angelica said
When I told her what you'd done?
She said
"You have married an Icarus
He has flown too close to the sun"

Don't
Take (6)______________ step in my direction
I can't be (7)______________ (8)____________ you
Don't think you can talk your way
Into my arms, into my arms

I'm burning the letters you wrote me
You can stand over there if you want
I don't (9)________ who you are
I have so much to learn
I'm re-reading (10)________ letters
And (11)________________ them burn (burn)
I'm (12)________________ them burn (burn)

You published the (13)______________ she wrote to you
You told the (14)__________ world
How you brought this girl into our bed
In clearing (15)________ name, you (16)________ ruined our lives

Heaven forbid someone whisper
"He's part of some scheme"
Your enemy whispers
So you have to scream
I know about whispers
I see how you look at my sister

Don't
I'm not naive
I have (17)________ (18)__________ around you
Don't (19)__________ I don't see how they fall for your charms
All your charms

I'm erasing myself from the narrative
Let (20)____________ historians wonder how Eliza reacted
When you broke her heart
You (21)________ thrown it all away
Stand back, watch it burn
Just watch it all burn

And (22)________ the time comes
Explain to the children
The pain and embarrassment
You put their mother through
When (23)________ you learn
That they are (24)________ legacy?
We are (25)________ legacy
If you thought you were (26)________ (mine, mine, mine)

Don't
