I.
I'm just going to say it once,
Because once is enough.
One day is enough to raise an empire,
And to topple it.
You can destroy a government with one word.
And-
You can destroy your life with one thought.

I'm only going to say it once,
Because it hurts too much to say it.


II.
Whispers cover my ears,
Ashes blind my eyes.
Death follows in my wake,
Like a faithful soldier,
Like a procession of soulless men.
Lining up for the execution,
Lining up for the end.


III.
It ain't long until you lose that sight.
Lost the fight.
Lost the light.
A star burns somewhere in the second to the right,
But now it's just a star.
A gas waiting to leave,
Waiting to burn,
Out
Out
Out.


IV.
So a million miles
Away, a planet dies and
I was there both times.
title from that one lil' extra scene in between flesh and stone and vampires of venice

This has been sitting on my drive for a little less than half a year already, collecting dust. And now I need to clear out some disk space. What better than to complete this for Secret Santa 2010?

Not sure what this is really supposed to say, but I guess it's sort of a Doctor angst poem, written in first person perspective. :]
Take liberties with interpretation!

Merry Christmas everyone!
