Have you heard the Doctor’s Tale?
Seven years later and all your current cells will be gone
Replaced, Regrown
And comforting it is to know that,
One day I will have a body that you have never touched,
That you have never kissed,
Replaced, Regrown,
Because the damage you did to me,
Cannot be forgotten,
Cannot be forgiven,
Only erased.
Replaced, Regrown.
