Jilted
My expectant hands
Cannot absolve the trespass
Of your absence
*
Rival
Bellicose in loss
You animate my language
With your savage frown
*
Crush
My ribs crack open
Entrails invading the den
Of an unstrung heart
*
Jaded
I fear stagnation
The compression of regrets
Into despotic whims
*
Delicacy
My heart is tender
A delicacy suited
To anomalous tastes
*
Optimist
Your eyes seek the stars
Despite burden, endeavor
Doggedly to dream
*
Transience
Truth is a phantom
Interred within the chambers
Of a nascent heart

Does anyone know of a good free word program? I am using Open Office and it is worse than wordpress about messing with the formatting.
