Martha is musing about what happened before she met the Master to save the Earth. She decides to leave the Doctor to distance herself from her feelings for him. As canon as possible! Please R&R, it's my first troem (trock poem)! Might add more poems later (mostly new Who).

Martha's song

I raced the human race

To name the unnamed

and repeated your phrase

I became a virus all the same

Now I'm here and your Master has died

You embraced him and for his lives you have cried

He wished you a death but you will never fight

When there's running to do; you'll flee in the night

But I pondered through wasteland

A stray dog with no ties, not tied

To your chest as the key on my heart

For I have no guard, for your plans I will bend

You've made a warrior in this body I've grown

Ember to fire in every bone

Streaks of animosity; I was not seen

By men and by means I should be unknown

As I arrived, my brain full and soul deep

Humanity murmured your name, like lovers asleep

Earth came back to life and for all but me

All was well, all was well, what a mess I see

Forever I will cling my hands to your shoulders

But I need no giants to stand upon

Forever my hope will betray in my eyes

And you will keep me hanging on

For William may compare me to flowers, instead

you still fall asleep with roses in your head.
