That Girl in the Fireplace

by poetanddidntknowit34

When the Doctor goes back to fetch Reinette and bring her along on his travels, he finds out that she has died, and the numbness he feels is that of a love lost.

I'm searching for her

To take her away.

To fly her through space;

Spin her through the stars.

For that's all I do,

Live beyond this world

And discover all I can.

Reinette, Reinette,

Where are you, love?

I promised you a star,

And a star you shall get.

But I've missed her;

She's gone.

Death has come,

Brushed the hair from her face,

And kissed from her, her last breath.

The coffin pulls away,

And took my love along.

Back around the mantle,

And back into space.

But nothing will ever be the same.

The fire burns orange,

And the heat radiates strong,

But it will never again bring comfort.

For I've lost my chance,

My only chance,

To love that beautiful girl.

That Girl in the Fireplace.
