[:Eliza:]
I saved every letter you wrote me}

Alex frowned

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."}

Washington looked at Hamilton remembering his claims of dying for the war

You and your words flooded my senses
Your sentences left me defenseless
You built me palaces out of paragraphs
You built cathedrals}

Alex smiled softly at the memory

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}

Lafayette sighed and whispered "you really messed up this time mon ami..this isn't something you can fix with sentences or brute force.."

Burn

You published the letters she wrote you
You told the whole world how you brought
This girl into our bed}

"He did more tha-" Jefferson looked over at Hamilton and immediately shut his mouth

Alexander's eyes were glazed over and he was so close to breaking down

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."}

All the men were muttering about how Hamilton was stupid or silently crying, y/n saw that this was all in the past and Eliza had moved on

She was always devoted to Alexander after all

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}

Alex suddenly felt too hot, his hands clenched the fabric of his jeans

You have torn it all apart
I am watching it
Burn
Watching it burn
The world has no right to my heart}

He felt the world crashing into him

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 hear}

His breathing was ragged and pressure built up on his shoulders

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 burn..}

Y/n had tapped Johns shoulder and switched seats with him for a minute

She rubbed Hamilton's back and side hugged him, she whispered words of comfort in his ears

"Why do you comfort him? He brought this onto himself" Thomas chimed into the quiet breakdown of Alexander

Alex shot up and connected his fist to the side of Thomas's jaw and gripped his own hair letting out rippling sobs of agony, people were staring now and whispering among themselves

"Emotional.."

"Is he taking the play that seriously.."

"Everyone knows Hamilton is dead."

"Hey he looks real familiar"

Y/n grabbed Alex's hand and pulled him out to the lobby gently, she hugged him as he broke down into her arms, she ran a hand through his greasy hair

If he took Eliza's song so hard how would he take Phillips death?
