Reality
This is a poem Kara writes after she is left behind. She's a prisoner in a secret facility having her powers tested. Basically, she's trying to figure out if her times with the Doctor were even real.
I could swear I remember
The way it felt, traveling together
So many places we were going to go
So many things you said we'd do
I could swear I remember you
Your untidy hair, that damn grin
The suit and long brown coat
Your eyes, the feel of your mind
I could swear I remember it
The TARDIS and its many rooms
Her thoughts, the power of her
She only looked like a blue box
I could swear I remember then
The running, lots of running
Spinning through time and space
Laughing until I thought I'd die
I could swear it was real
Plastic-faced aliens that took me
A rescuer who needed rescuing
A man with a nightmare inside his head
I could swear these memories are true
The telepathic aliens with those head things
Chinese takeout gone horribly wrong
Swimming in an alien ocean
I could swear you were there
My memories, they're so vivid
I can still smell that smell you had
Like everything and nothing at all
The giant teddy bear next to me
The one we got at the circus
It's all I have left of you
If you were even real at all
The sting of a needle in my arm
The ache as they test me
The bleeps of the machinery
Remind me of what is real
They say it's all in my head
They say I've been here for years
I don't remember those years
But I remember you
No one knows I'm here
Alone in this so-called hospital
Here I'm surrounded by medical personnel
But not a single one of them is my Doctor.
