The Lighthouse

 

 

At the tip of a rocky point

Lies an old, dusty light house

Surrounded by the gloomy night

The lighthouse faithfully shows

The ships through

Concealing a grizzly crime

 

Two years prior, a young couple

Wandered to the lighthouse

Unsuspecting of the danger they faced

They walked through creaky doors

Into the death that lay within

 

The old lighthouse keeper

Maddened by years of solitude

Slaughtered the tow young lovers

To this day the keep the senile man company

 

At the tip of a rocky point

Lies a lighthouse gloomy and dark

Enveloped by the dark of night

The lighthouse shines no more

And just keeps the tragedy secret
