My heart is in my hands, but I
Can’t say why.
Millenia I was on my own,
Nothing to me but myself
And never once did I fall down.
I can’t say why the tears are falling
As a river down a rocky shelf,
A waterfall down my aged face.
I loved my country, and then I cried
When I had caused its fall to darkness.
Nay, no country, but a world
That I led down the path of death.
And since that day, so long ago
No tear have I shed.
I lingered long upon the past,
But saw the tender shoots of green
On earth where the shade of man is cast.
I saw a hope, I saw a hope. A hope I
Long had thought would ne’er again be seen.
Alas, it was nothing, my fortune falls
As a tear from my very eye.
I have seen fire and ice, Beast and man
Have fought and sung,
Made peace and war
With but my voice, my wits…
And my companion…
I have not shed a tear, but age has come
Since long ago I condemned
My Race to flame and Pain.
I have journeyed far…
Why can’t I stop the tears
From falling down my face…
My companion, how I didst love thou!
My TARDIS! How I loved you!
Martha. Rose, K-nine.
How I long for you.
I caused a world to burn and cried,
I journeyed and was glad.
I left my friends behind and died
In parts I left all that I had.
My mind casts back to times of pain
When evil beasts had sat in reign.
But how I wish, and how I long!
An eldritch cry, a loving song!
A time of peace, a healing hand,
A doctor come and not a man
Like me, a bringer of the plague,
A man to do all that he can.
A happy man. An angry man,
A hopeful man upon the brink.
I’ve been all, yet none, gone high
Then down as far as I could sink.
Tears, I wish for you to fly
I get the last word
Sure as the tears are on my cheeks
Where blood is running cold.
My time, the Time of the doctor
Is done, I give it all to you,
For though I’m called the Healer,
I’m also Doctor Who.
I love Dr. Who. I've been watching it since the start of Christopher Eccleston, not sure what age that would be though.
