Story of an Obsessed Lover..

On a bright moonlit night
In the castle of Vincent Valley,
Edwin waited for his longing to end..
But no longer to himself, could he pretend..

The love of his life was going to be someone else's..
Hardly could he do anything,
For he didn't have the chances..

For once, he just wanted to see her, feel her..and make her his;
But his mistress was someone,
whom he could never land in displease..

But want taking over will, he sent his message to her..
One moment of happiness..
And the rest to suffer!

Confident, he was that his mistress would come..
Getting his note, Cicilia's body went numb..

Covered in a cloak, she departed for the castle..
Driving away everything..
That seemed like a hassle.

Edwin's heart counted the seconds..
When he felt the horse cart hault..
And felt her presence..

In front of him, stood cicilia- his mistress..
Suddenly he felt like he was out of all the distress..

Beautiful,she looked..with her hair touching her feet;
Restless, he welcomed her..
Gently with a kiss..

Holding her waist,he said in her ear-
"You're only mine and you don't have to fear.."

Her smile suddenly changed.. into pain..
When he wrapped her long hair, round her neck..

Cried she in terror,to save herself;
She fell down the floor..
As the clock striked twelve!

Lifeless and cold-
She lay on the ground..

Edwin's purpose served..
For, she was eternally his..
With NO ONE else around..
