Okay, this is a strange little poem from Dios to Utena written because the soundtrack to Adolescence was inspiring me. Don't expect it to make much sense, but please review anyways.

Sometimes I look into your eyes

And for a moment, the darkness is gone

But you don't see me-

No one does.

Look beyond the illusion,

A new world's waiting there.

A world where you don't have to be dead,

But that's no longer an option.

You've thrown me aside

In a search for shining princes.

Maybe I'm comforted by the castle,

Did you ever think of that?

You were the only princess

Who showed signs of something else.

I thank you for that,

But this is a comfy coffin,

The only time I can rest.

There are still many waiting,

Their love turning into hate,

Forgetting fond memories.

Once upon a time,

Ohtori wasn't a different world.

But they have forgotten this tiny little egg,

Too afraid to hatch.

I don't want you condemned to that,

So leave.

I don't need to be saved,

Do you know what?

Roses require so much care.

Maybe it's time I let the plants grow for themselves,

And bloom into untamable weeds

That never would need my help.

I'll rest in this castle,

And ask you to forget

Who I am.

A memory held this long....

Do you know why I'm not a prince?

Because I'm relieved to be in this castle.

It's the only time I can rest...
