OK, I've decided to stray away from one-shots and WIPs and try a poem. I've written them before, just not for fanfiction purposes. The format is still mucking up and I don't think you guys will be able to see verse breaks in this, until I figure out how to do that; you'll have to try and make sense of it. They're four line verses, so it should be quite easy.
This isn't one of my best poems, but I'm still quite pleased with it!
Warning- This will contain spoilers for the musical, so anyone who does not wish to be spoiled; I suggest you don't read this.

Empty Chair
An act of love
At the hands of fate
Made from desperation
Of being imprisoned
The fire in her feet
Contrast the ice of her heart
An unsteady wobble
A more confident stand
Her joy and elation
Not a registered feeling
Through her sisters stare
Empty soul, empty chair
He came running
Saw her stand
Also feeling joy
But for his love of another
His escape was possible
From his glass prison
She thought she could spell him
How wrong could she be?
Ignoring the protests
From her loving sister
Her feeling so rare
Empty mind, empty chair
A cry of pain
A silence so loud
Her plan had failed
He was a shell
His cold tin body
A new kind of prison
She blamed her sister
He knew no better
Manipulation at its best
One of her worst traits
She ruined people, didn't care
Empty heart, empty chair
I changed some parts, considering I wrote it pretty late last night…Sorry about the format...Anyone got pointers on how to not have a line break between two lines?
