Come on, then. Take mine. Take my memories.
It was a desperate demand, not altogether unselfish. Because it wasn't really such a sacrifice, not when those memories weighed down these two heavy hearts like no gravity in the universes ever could.
And I hope you've got a big appetite... because I've lived a long life.
Too long.
And I have seen a few things.
1200 years of living. I have seen things... more than a few. Things I want to forget, things I wish I'd never seen in the first place. Things that fill my hearts with joy, things that break them apart into an innumerable fractioned pieces.
I walked away from the last great Time War.
Alive, but not unbroken.
I marked the passing of the Time Lords.
I killed them all.
I saw the birth of the universe -
Twice. All those atoms, unaware of what magnificence they would form, what wonders they would make in the fabric of reality...
-and I watched as time ran out. Moment by moment until nothing remained - no time, no space!
How does one begin to describe nothing? All the beings of the universe, holding on to an impossible hope, just gone. Nothing exists.
Just me.
Just me.
I walked in universes where the laws of physics were devised by the mind of a mad man!
Because to the mad men, it's okay to manipulate people. Manipulate the laws of reality, bend them to your own purposes. The fallout is an afterthought. The blood and tears are collateral damage.
And I watched universes freeze and creations burn - I have seen things you wouldn't believe!
Parallel timelines bleeding together, defying the laws of creation. Entire planets removed from their orbits and redirected. A Time Locked Gallifrey, the war between the Daleks and the Time Lords, the war between the Cybermen and the Daleks.
I have lost things you will never understand-
Things. People.
-RoseMarthaDonnaAmyRory-
And so many times, I lost myself along the way...
- and I know things - secrets that must never be told and knowledge that must never be spoken!
They all race through my mind now, desperate to escape, bottled up inside someone who can guard them, but not without a cost...
Knowledge that will make parasite gods blaze!
Because inside any other being, any other thing, it would tear them apart.
So come on, then! Take it! Take it all, baby! Have it! You have it all!
But no. Just me.
