A/N: A sad, questioning piece from our fresh favourite Clara to her (totally) beloved. Eleven forever guys. Even after all this time. Always.


If we could only push these walls

apart, unfold the room the way

a child might take apart a box

and lay it flat upon the floor—

so many corners cleared at last!

Or else could rip away the roof

and stare down at the dirty rooms,

the hallways turning on themselves,

and understand at last their plan—

dark maze without a minotaur,

no monsters but ourselves.

Dana Gioia - Maze without a Minotaur


Clara

How long will you walk the glass-walled maze

Searching for transparency

Like it was some concept to be desired

Like it was some treasure to be found


How long will you tap on the door to darkness

Searching for indulgence

Like it was a temporary effect

Like it was a haven for all


How long will you deny the light

Searching for a silver lining

In a room full of clouds

In a room full of sun beams
