Alone at first.
Then surrounded,
People time forgot.
A lovely woman
He reached his hand to touch,
But she vanished.
Friends and family
Flashing past.
Pleading with their eyes,
And tears in his
As one by one, they die.
The world, the race,
Regal to be named the lords,
Trapped forever in death.
Then him, alone.
Why?
Please take me too!
I don't deserve to live!
But he must.
To help.
A life saved, a life ended.
Is it fair?
Be friends with this monster,
Destroyer,
that's the only way you'll live.
And he'll protect you
But ruin you
Breaking hearts,
Medicine man,
But his remedies kill
Whole races
Whole lives.
He travels
Helping
But leaving a trail
Pain
Sorrowdeath
Defeat
Always alone
Amy slips down the stairs
Woken by shouts
The man lays on the floor
Crying quietly,
Her own tears well.
But she turns
And leaves.
Because even Time Lords have nightmares.
