The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don't always soften the bad things, but vice versa that bad things don't necessarily spoil the good things and make them unimportant ~ Vincent and the Doctor

I sit atop my pile of bad things

Reading a book, leisurely

Watching the smoke rise

To swill around the contours

Of the domed ceiling

Plenty of room left to fill

I have watched worlds burn

I have burned worlds.

I have seen the beginning

And the end

And everything in between

There are Daleks in chains

Trails of jelly babies

There is, far below

Cybermen fingers

Scraping violently

Pointlessly

Men with hard eyes

And poisoned souls

People whose glassy gazes

I cannot meet

They died for me

And I will die a thousand times

Drowning in this guilt

I am the Doctor

I have saved the universe

But the universe doesn't care

And it won't save me
