I love to write poetry, even if it doesn't fit all the way, because it's just so much fun and such a release to get out what I'm feeling at the moment.  Tonight I was just fiddling around on the computer, listening to music, when some sad tunes from Utena started playing, and I got inspired to write something.  I love Anthy, and I can kind of relate to her... no, I don't sleep with my brother or have swords stabbing me, but... anyway. ;  Lemme know what you guys think!

Princes, Princesses, and the Others
I've been in love for what seems like eternity
...I fell in love with a prince.
He came to me one starry night...
And I haven't seen him since.

I've looked for him for days and days
And days turned into years.
And as I search the fantasy fades
For a moment with my tears.

Where is that perfect prince of mine?
Why has he left me here?
In a world that repels the very thought of me
And casts me out in fear.

I've since forgotten how the story ends
And what will become of me.
Will the witch be burned at the stake
Or will the princess be set free?

I met someone who noticed me
And her smile stirred my heart.
We laughed, we cried, we held on tight
And I thought we'd never part.

And as the walls collapsed and the sky crashed down
I realized I had a choice.
No longer nodding yes or no,
I could finally use my voice.

I made a decision one fateful day
To stop playing pretend.
I packed my things and said goodbye,
And set out to find my friend.
