revenge

Dark and Desolate is the only way to
Describe the landscape I see before me.
The Brandford house is only a dark outline.
I ride slowly towards the dark shape.
Soon I am at the door.
I dismount my black, red-eyed horse and enter the house.
I float soundlessly up the stairs to the dark room of Amy.
She sleeps soundly, but not for long.
I knock over her ivory lamp.
It lands upon the floor with a "Crash"!
She wakes at the sound and looks around.
Her eyes come to lie on me.
My dead eyes bore into hers.
Suddenly she falls, and lands beside her broken lamp.
I know Death has befriended her.
I drift from the room then,
Not bothering to close her unblinking eyes.
I exit the silent house and mount my horse of death.
I have a smile on my face as I ride away;
For I have had my revenge.
