I literally just finished The Girl Who Waited...This poem is written in the style of Diplocardia and Divided Hearts. The left is young Amy, bold is Old Amy, and middle is where they overlap. (Except a few lines in Old Amy's speech at the end.)


Tick tock goes the clock

and all the years they fly

Tick tock and all too soon

You and I must die

One wrong button

If I'd stayed with them

He'll come

He always comes

He came on Demon's Run

He'll come

He never came

He never will.

He's forgotten me

Safe here,

they can't sense me

here

I'll wait

My home here

if you can call it that

Only a robot pet

my voice is rusted

Doctor, I'm waiting

Rory?

What is he doing here?

Rory…

Rory…

I love you

But…

thirty-seven years later

I'm crying

I can't keep crying

He's going to find me

and then he'll ask why

I'm crying

and I'll laugh him off

He just gets in the way

Leave me alone

I've made a life for myself

a death

Rory is watching

and

who's that?

Old, lined face

eyes hard as gems

still young

still naive enough

to wait

me

Amy Pond

Please,

I plead to

myself

Let them find me

No.

She didn't then

I won't now

I've waited so long

I want rescue

One question

Three words

What about Rory?

Rory.

I named the robot Rory

Nothing special

at first

But remember the time

He pretended

to be in a band

learned the guitar

so

I wouldn't know

Rory's the most beautiful man I've ever met

I'll tear time for him

It can't keep us

apart

I'm coming too

The Doctor says

remember

something important

first kiss

I'm coming

I'm not leaving

I'm here

Rory

My Rory

Eight minutes

after thirty-seven years,

what's that

run

Run!

Handbot.

My neck…

He's holding her

his eyes

he loves her

me

"Go! I'll cover you!"

The Doctor

all these years later

the Doctor

He meets my eyes

we both know

slams the door

I wonder

what he says to Rory

But I know

my fate

"I love you"

He says

I love you, too

-but-.

Don't let me in.

Tell Amy

your Amy

I'm giving her

the days

the days with you

the days to come

the days I can't have.

Take them please.

I'm giving my days.
