I think you need someone to stop you…

Author's note: Recently I was thinking about the Tenth Doctor's final run of episodes in 2009. I wanted to focus on how he needed companions around him and with him but also how he realises he can't take anymore people on his travels because it ruins them in the end. This poem encapsulates some of that feeling, following each episode of the Specials:

Snow

Suddenly a companion myself
for Jackson Lake.
Stayed for Christmas lunch with friends.
I need to go.
Alone.

Sand

Made an unlikely friend
in Lady Christina.
Couldn't let her escape with me.
I need to go.
Alone.

Water

Stuck on Bowie Base One
with Adelaide Brooke.
Went too far and she took her life.
I need to go.
Alone.

Nothing

Heard him knock four times
oh, Wilfred Mott.
I could do so much more.
I don't want to go.
Alone.
