Hope is stronger than fear

by Catkin thief

A poem on what I think River would be thinking when she is captured by Madame Kovarian and put in the spacesuit again so that she can kill the Doctor at Lake Silencio (is that the name of the lake?). Please read and review :) Other poems will be added later, for different scenes.

5. No man can tame thy wild heart

AN: Yes, I know it's been absolutely ages, sorry about that.

IMPORTANT POINTS: I don't know why I used 'thy' and 'thou' instead of you, it's just what fitted.

Secondly, thanks to Incoming Albatross and 10Blue10 for reviewing, it's nice to know that people like my poems.

I see this poem as the Doctor talking to River, as describes their relationship rather well, if I do say so myself. Please enjoy.

No man can tame thy wild heart,

Nor keep thy hand in his,

When all is done my dear, thou must,

Be true to what thou is.

No man can pierce that wall of pain,

Nor bright the flame that lights thy eyes,

Or live this life, with naught to gain,

And still laugh, and call thee wise

No man can match thy restless heart,

Nor fly as high as you, my dove,

Or with you run, from stop to start,

No man but I, my love.
