Shining Paladin

By spheeris1

Pairing: Anthy/Dios, Anthy/Utena

Warnings/Notes: Anthy POV, quick poetic mess about how Anthy felt in the past and feels once more with Utena

Inspired by Nanase Aikawa's 'Second Wind'

~~~

Save me.

I want to be freed.

I want to take your hand

And I want to shine.

I want to burn in your heat,

To let your kisses

Bring me redemption.

I don't care how you get to me.

But come to me.

Run to me.

And do not let me go.

I hope you hold tight,

I hope you hold fast.

Shelter me from

The storm.

Cover me and take the blows.

Stay like ice under fire and

Become heat in the frozen wasteland.

You have the power,

I can feel it.

I can see it even

With my eyes closed.

I am waiting

For you to release me

From this cage.

Hurry, don't wait another second!

Race to me,

Fly to me.

I will wait for you.

I will watch for you.

I pray for you and beg for you.

You are my wishes, my dreams, my only reason

To live and breathe.

I lost you once…

…but this time…

…I will not lose you again.
