Grieving for Gallifrey

by RunawayLadyEnt

I was in English studying elegies when the last line to this poem popped in my head, and well, it kind of grew from there. This is in the voice of The Doctor right after time war, specifically between meeting Rose and telling her about the Time War. Rating for hints to suicide. It will help you to understand it if you've seen at least some of the classics.

1. Grieving for Gallifrey

Let the bells bong louder
Let the drums quicken their beat
To drown out
The empty silence in my head

May all walk by and ignore
May all carry on their lives
And be safe
From the one soaked in red

Please stay away
Please let me be
And let me wear black
To cover the blood

Just let me go
Just let me fall
Into the abyss
To drown in the mud

I can't have you see
I can't have you know
That I grieve for my planet:
My hell and my home
