Learning to Breathe

by Captain LN

A slightly more poetic approach to Rose Tyler's chaotic emotions about being left behind after Doomsday: filled with angsty emotion and the writings of a saddened Rose!

I'm learning to breathe,

Yet wishing you were here,

Hoping I'm strong enough to be without you again.

I know I'm not the last, and I'm certainly not the first,

But I don't want to be left alone with my dark thoughts.

All I need is a hope, a prayer for salvation

But you've gone now, and I'm just broken.

I'm learning to breathe,

Calming my thoughts,

Begging myself to be strong enough to ignore my heart.

I know you're forever gone, and never going to return,

And now it's only shadow embracing me in the long winter nights.

It's summer outside, but there is no warmth

Flowers are snowflakes, and the Sun is cold.

I'm learning to breathe,

Please don't say I'm sorry,

Pleading with myself to make me understand.

I know it doesn't matter, I see that clearly now,

I won't perform a puppet's dance with emotions any more.

Thunder and lightning control my soul, passion and clear vision,

Months: I'm my own again, I've learnt to breathe again.
