A/N: Back with a sad one. Best served with Kleenex and bad grammar just because I can and we're allowed to do that with prose. Fill with your own inflections and enunciations as you read. And a note for the end: death is a prison you cannot escape.


The Doctor

companion; you make so many beautiful promises

promises you can never hold to

sooner or later

life is taken

and death is a given


companion; nightingale voice so sweet to the ears of the dusk

and inevitably the swansong will end

sooner or later

life is taken

and death is a given


companion; blended whimsically like watercolour to the childish canvas of time

and as time flows on, your stain is bleached away

sooner or later

life is taken

and death is a gift


companion; i love you with all my hearts

but this isn't healthy, i'm afraid

sooner or later

life is taken

and your death will be swift


Allow me the honour of punctuating your life sentence.
