A Poem for Ten

Summary:

This spans three Episodes. Turn Left, Stolen Earth, and Journey's end.

Notes:

I don't write poems, but...

I came across a writing prompt that said to use "the sky is on fire" in a poem. I used it literally instead of the intended metaphorically and this happened...

Work Text:

The Doctor is dead
and the sky is on fire
Donna's confused
and thinks Rose is a liar

It clings to her back
Stars have stopped burning
Donna turns left 
And Rose is returning

The Earth has been stolen 
The moon of Poosh too 
Donna's not legend
But she's important, "Thank you!"

Rose is in sight 
And the Doctor is running 
He fails to look right 
And gets more than a stunning

Quick into the TARDIS!
His nerves are on fire
Regeneration is coming 
To no ones desire

His face is the same
His spare hand is glowing 
Very soon now 
The Earth will need towing

He didn't change
He didn't want to
Very soon now 
There'll be two of you.

His soul is revealed 
He never carries a gun
He dare not look back
Away he will run

How many have died?
Is TARDIS still burning?
Too many have died 
Too soon and still yearning.

Hope is arriving 
with weezing and groaning
Zapping and spinning 
The daleks are moaning

"I am the Doctor!"
And these are the daleks
It must end now 
Enough of this bollocks!

Quick back in the TARDIS!
"What did you do?"
Quick back in the box! 
Quick all of you!

Which one will say it?
Which one of the two?
"Does it need saying?"
Rose, I love you

The Doctor is sorry
He makes Donna forget
He does this to save her
But he's full of regret

He says he's alright 
As stands in the rain
Wilfred looks to the stars
And sees all his pain
