To his requirement...
justprompts: What Do I Have to Do? - Stabbing Westward
he is
the favored son of a favored race.
you are
the forgotten son of a nowhere planet.
he is
a god, in all the old stories,
the lords of time who ruled from
untouchable,
unreachable,
fabled gallifrey.
you are
no longer a time agent,
no longer anything you recognize,
lost and fumbling,
drowning and
he is
salvation,
a chance,
a change.
you are
becoming someone,
full of possibility,
like all humans (he says),
but he never says -
the possibility of what?
he is
not what the stories say,
falling short and so much better,
alternately and all at once.
you are
always falling short,
of reputation
and expectation
and his every requirement.
you are nothing he wants.
he is everything you need.
