I do not own Doctor Who or the poem included, they (unfortunately) belong to the BBC and Big Finish Productions respectively.

Also this has no link (except the poem) to the Big Finish Productions audio book of the same name, or the story it tells - although it is well worth a listen.

Zagreus sits inside your head
Zagreus lives among the dead
Zagreus sees you in your bed
And eats you when you're sleeping

It haunted him as he slept, the old fairy tale from his child hood. The cursed story that filled his head, the cursed story that would not let him rest, the cursed story that brought back memories of those long gone.

~Zagreus~

Zagreus at the end of days
Zagreus lies all other ways
Zagreus comes when time's a maze
And all of history's weeping.

For so long it had haunted him, filled his thoughts, his dreams, the very recess of his mind; echoing throughout his very being. The Master had his drums and he had his word, following him througho the maze of time until the very end.

~Zagreus~

Zagreus taking time apart.
Zagreus fears the hero heart.
Zagreus seeks the final part.
The reward that he is reaping.

Following, chasing, pursuing, stalking in the dark. It's always there in the corner of his eye, but never acting, allowing time to do it's work before it takes him, before it tears apart his heart, his soul, his very being.

~Zagreus~

Zagreus sings when all is lost
Zagreus takes all those he's crossed
Zagreus wins and all is cost
The hero's hearts he's keeping.

It's all gone now, all is lost, his friends, his beloved companions, even trusty old K9 has faded away. It follows him and it removes all in it's path, as slowly draws nearer and nearer, until it is almost upon him.

~Zagreus~

Zagreus seeks the hero's ship
Zagreus needs the web to rip
Zagreus sups time at a drip
And life aside, he's sweeping.

It's the end, he can feel it. As it draws near so does his end. It comes, nothing stopping it, nothing slowing it, it comes. Following him through time to his end. And when his end is nigh, one word falls from his lips before he is consumed, before all turns dark, just one word: "Zagreus".

This is really random, I know!

It was on tumblr and came across a recording (I'll post a link to it on my profile), while listening to it I became a little bit inspired and wrote this in about ten minutes, this plus the fact that it was written at about 12.30am and the absense of beta means that it's probably not very well written - sorry!

Anyway, I've rambled on enough and I hope you liked my little bit of nonsense - maybe you even liked it enough to review *hint hint* :)
