A/N: Ok, not a drabble. Playing with ways to make the break between stanzas actually stay. I own nothing (well, actually I have a sonic screwdriver)...
To Want More
He shows them the stars
To remind them of the pride in being human.
They follow him to the stars
To avoid the tedium of being human.
-
He doesn't understand
Why they want more from life
Than just living.
That is beautiful in itself
And should be enough for anyone.
-
He ruins their chance at normalcy
With what is only selfishness, really.
But he doesn't understand
Once the Doctor's companion
Always a companion,
Until death do us part.
-
But only for them. He remains alone
Even when surrounded by laughter.
He is flawed. That is what makes him--
Well, not human-- alive.
But to be broken and still to possess
So much power, like the ancient Gods,
Is to burn up all who dare come with him.
-
Who is to blame, then?
They have a choice, his girls, his companions.
But do they really know what he is asking?
He offers the stars, but does he mention
The death, the dying, the loneliness?
What is it like, being the one left behind?
Does he understand that to be human
Is to want more?
