Hey Y'all! This is a spur of the moment thing, but I was listening to the Hamilton Soundtrack [again] and thought of what Maria Reynolds mindset would be? So I wrote a song in her perspective. Critique on lyrics and melody is appreciated! No instrumental background atm as this was just created on the spot.

[Say No to This Prt. 2] Fan Song in defense of Maria Reynolds
I’m holding onto my daughter, her father has left us both. Walking the sidelines, waiting for a rescue. As I stare into her eyes, I see wonder, I see my lies…and I debate all my actions, I still don’t believe I’d reconsider.
Your touch was amazing, your body was warm. I didn’t know that he’d be warned. My husband never cared, he’d pull and push and yank my hair, yet when you touched me, the bruises seemed to disappear. Our little affair….
Why did he care?
It’s not like his drunken self wasn’t wading the streets picking up broads to take to our sheets
So why did he threaten me? His friend had spotted you leaving one night, tipped him off and he smiled with delight. He belittled me. He started hitting me. I went across the floor, I hid behind a chair, a threw a bowl as if I dared to live! Our daughter cried. But against his pride, he plotted and was pyed. He came up with the scheme and forced me to sign.
How was I to not? Where was I to go? Us both conceded to another, what were the papers to say if a mysterious woman went to you with this display? If she was to not leave your place? If she was to claim sanctuary in the arms of a married man?
Well I guess that doesn’t matter now
Well now I am relieved of all that pressure
Well now I am relieved of thoughts that are scattered
Yes now I am relieved of all the “what ifs?” of all the “who’s this?’ of all the “next times”
Yes I am relieved, I am relieved
The articles claim I am a whore, I am a traitor, this is why women are sworn to stay in the home, don’t go out alone! But I believe it takes two? How am I the villainous one? Were you abused? did you live in fear you’d be slayed by the one who says ‘they love you?’
Oh, how I feel like Burr.
But Burr actually helped my divorce, he got the papers.
And as the carriage arrives, I think back to all those times:
You made me feel safe, in my home I was not alone. The dark, grim and damp cabin lit up with an ember. You were so strong! You soothed me over with words unlike the daggers I’d be accustomed to. You believe I used you, did you not use me? This frail, fragile, beaten and broken thing? Every night you left you went home safe, cuddled in bed, knowing your children are fed, your political standing is still fast and stead and that your wife!!!
Your wife….loves you…..
I loved you
How dumb the thought you’d pick me up one day and exclaim we’d make it work, what an ignorant dream, what a….mindless fantasy….
But my daughters smile….this new open world….so many possibilities
I am relieved, I am relieved. yes I am relieved. I am relieved.
