4A/N: This is my guilty ship of feels. Sometimes I lie on the floor and cry about how it's so perfect even though it contradicts my other OTPs, but let's not talk about that.
On another note, I'm thinking of writing an Oswin!Clara/Rory collection for reasons, so please express any interest you may have in reviews because I'd kind of like to have an audience before I put too much work in...
ALSO: Context is needed, I realize, because this is my sort-of head-canon: Whilst being the Last Centurion, Rory met one of Clara's many lives. Yes, I know that universe rebooted. The point is, Clara could still have been around. The Doctor still buzzed around doing things. (okay, let's not talk about how this is not really that possible and go with it.)

sleep
you tired child
you've lived too long to be healthy
(but so have i)
the light is sweet
and will hold you dear
instead of me
although i tried
.
i was in love for once
this is the millionth time for you
but you're fading now
because that's what people do
.
(it's what you do for him)
.
i wait, you die
we're quite the pair, you and i
a sacrificial duo
who stopped to fall in love
once
.
sleep
you tired child
you've died too much to be healthy
(but so have i)
the dark is cold
but you've felt the ice
we've grown so old
you and i
.
a day passes like hours
years pass us like dreams
our faces don't grow older
because you die too much, it seems
.
(this you're thing you're doing for him)
.
i wait, you die,
we're quite the pair, you and i
a sacrificial duo
who loved for a minute
in time
.
sleep
you tired child
there's so much more, please stay healthy
(like i will try)
the night is young
but there's no time to dance
and the words that they sung
say it's time
to die
