Title: Moth
Character(s): Ten.
Pairing: My usual.
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: Not mine
Spoilers: Canon compliant, so spoilers for 4X13
Summary: And all the words I have not said

I hope that Time
Will ease that pain
Which comes whene’er
I think your name.

We’re not supposed
To end this way.
There’s still so much
I want to say.

My moth still burns
To find your flame.
To know I can’t
Brings searing pain.

And all the words
I have not said
Go ’round and ’round
Inside my head.

I know that I’ve
Myself to blame.
But it still hurts
To breathe your name.

I didn’t say them,
But they’re true.
And all this time,
I thought you knew.

"And all this time,
I thought you knew."

Those lines? Kicked where it hurts. Ouch.

This is so painfully beautiful.

I've just realised, from reading this and thinking back to the episode, that she can't have known all along, because she asked him what he was going to say after "Rose Tyler..." :(

Oh, damn it. Here was me thinking I'd gotten over last week.

I'm glad I waited until I was less raw to read this. It would have killed me a week or more ago. It's lovely. If I made banners I'd use some of your text for it :)

This is an updated version of Once Burnt, Twice Shy (http://lived-in-hope.livejournal.com/12902.html), and an attempt to get into the Doctor’s head immediately post-Journey’s End. It hurts.

Glad you like it, though. This one’s kinda special.

Ha! Nice to know I'm consistent....I loved the Moth Imagery before!

Yeah, I remember :)

(It’s quite evident in this year’s season finale that that is how he is, bless him.)

astoundingly well-written and oh-so-sad.

favourite stanza:
And all the words
I have not said
Go 'round and 'round
Inside my head.
that really gets me...

It is sad, yes, but then given the subject matter there’s no real choice in it.
