Remember Me, Doctor

Do you remember me, Doctor Dear?

Of all the pain and joy and fear

You know that the memory's clear

Though your next life is drawing near

The first blood - a memory gone

A never-ending four-beat song

My exisance might be wrong

But my rein never seems to last long

Now you fight with pretty girls

And act like a hyper active squirrel

In seas of blood and seas of pearls

And this last life fades in a swirl

Remember how I am dead

And you chose your Earth instead

We could never seem to get ahead

Or wipe clean our hands painted red

A Master of time - A doctor of war

We were friends, possibly more

You said you'd help - Doctor, you swore

Even if I was nothing but a chore

It's not that I blame you, Doctor, my friend

I know was me you choose in the end

And though I'm a man known to play pretend

I must admit I did ascend

Not with a band of incompetent devils

But above them by quite a few levels

Not many can say they're glorified rebels

Goodie for us - Let's write some novels

I gave up everything, Doctor, old chum

My life, my home, and all I had was the drums

I suppose this whole thing was quite dumb

If to all our stuggles you've grown numb

Can you remember anything at all?

Whether a memory ever so small?

I'm not saying come back to rescue me from my fall

But please don't put up this dangerous wall

Remember me, Doctor.  That's all that I ask

A monster, a saviour, a rodent, a mask

Who knows, maybe my memory will last

And you'll learn just of the shadow you cast.
