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.

6. Some hearts can't bear to be constrained

AN: I see this poem as a kind of eulogy for the Master. Death in Heaven just killed me, especially because of Danny and it made me realise how hard it must be for the Doctor to know that his only friend is mad, and has probably just died. That was waaayy to many clauses for one sentence. Oh well.

By the way, I'm not usually into slash, but I think Missy and the 12th Doctor just work so well together, and I know it says 'him' in the poem, but the Master has been a man for most of his lives, so I think that's mostly how the Doctor would see him/her.

I miss him too, you know,

In the silence of the night,

He was there for me as well, you know,

A force for everything that's right,

I knew him well, you know,

A restless heart, a reckless head,

He was mine too, you know,

A boy who loved the games he led,

I was there as well, you know,

A man that no one could have tamed,

I loved him too, you know,

Some hearts can't bear to be constrained.

Fly free, my love
