Revenge

You walked into the silver-lit room with grace,
And you took a little crimson hanky to your face.
You wiped the tears out of your eyes,
The look in them was the look of demise.

You walked through the room and looked around,
As if you were floating, your feet didn't make a single sound.
You looked at their faces with a grimace on your face,
You locked your gaze on them with a look of hate.

The couples swept right past you,
Dancing, the sound of the music nearly drowned out by the sound of shoes.
You just kept walking straight towards the ones with which you gazed,
And they just stared back at you, confused, and dazed.

As you shed a few more tears,
Memories flashed through your head of better years.
Closer and closer your steps had grown,
The look of fear in their eyes was plainly shown.

A small black hand-gun you pulled from under your coat,
Nasally grunts were escaping your throat.
The music was stopped now, the only sounds were screams...
There would be no more dancing tonight, and no sugar plum dreams.

A gun shot was heard, followed by many more.
People were trampled down as they headed for the door.
You turned around and walked away, satisfied with what you'd done.
And now they would know how you felt, the pain had just begun.

Finally, after decades of pain, your loved ones were avenged.
You got what you came for;
Your sweet, sweet Revenge
