AN- Behold, my first foray into MLP and Doctor Who fanfic. It's way more angst-y and depressing-y than my norm, but all the same, thanks and enjoy. And I don't own any of these series. -KawaiiJoltic

Minuette's Lament

Dear Time Turner,

Please know that I do not blame you for breaking my heart

It was never your fault

Those aliens were the ones who took your life

Or possibly that cross-eyed girl who trails behind you

Or the watch that you opened to save us

Or even that funny Blue Box that spirited you away

Never to return

Not to me

Not for me

I do not blame you one bit

You were brave

Braver than I could ever be

Braver than any stallion I've ever known

You sacrificed yourself to defeat those awful monsters

Taking your own life to spare the loss of more

That was the bravest deed I will ever see

Braver than anything I could ever do

Braver than anything anypony could ever do

But you aren't truly gone

I suppose your somewhere inside the Doctor

The one who now inhabits your body

You will be inside that madcolt as he saves many other places

From whatever he runs across

You'll be with Derpy

I suppose that make her happy

At least one mare who loves you can be with you

One of us

One of too many

Everything is fine here in Ponyville

We're all just trying to forget

I'm still making clocks like I always have

It's not the same without you

You were always there by my side

Us churning out clockwork for the customers every day without fail

But now you're gone

And nothing's the same

Nothing is

Nothing will be

Lyra and Twinkleshine have been worried sick about me

I've barely eaten or slept since that night

They think I'm mourning you

And they're right, in a way

I'm mourning the loss of a great stallion

The only one I ever loved

But you live on, in a way

And I suppose you deserve better than me

Somepony like that Roseluck from your book

Somepony better than me

Somepony braver than me

I wish I could turn back time as easily as I can turn back the hands of a watch

And my reasoning for wanting to is selfish

I know it is

And that's why you deserve better than me

You deserve someone generous and selfless like yourself

I wish I could go back in time

To before you were gone

And smash the watch containing The Doctor into a million pieces

So I wouldn't have had to lose you

But I suppose you must be happy now

After all, Time Turner was never meant to truly exist

But I will wait for you, Doctor

And maybe you'll come back

And maybe I'll be waiting

And maybe I'll still love you

But probably not

Love,

Minuette
