I have thought of nothing but my revenge since Arianna's death. The only thing to take my mind off of it was my next mission. The next mission and training, endless training that would lead to my revenge. But always, my mind came back to revenge. I have imagined it a thousand times, a different scenario for every night that she was not by my side. I imagined guns, bombs, knives; slow torments and quick deaths, none give any relief to my mind.
Each plan never seemed to fulfill my need for revenge, each fell short. Each one ended in his death. He would never suffer the way that I have suffered, because he will be dead. He will be dead, and I will still be alive.
Alive without her.

Dude. David's intense. Apparently we posted at the same time without realizing it!
That last line was like a kick to the teeth. My biggest problem with first person POV is that it seems I start every sentence with "I", and you've avoided that well here.
Your verb tenses get a little inconsistent in places, though - "will" and "would" are different tenses of each other, so be careful using both forms in one sentence.
Find a synonym for revenge.
That's all I got.
Synonyms for revenge include "vengeance", "retribution", and occasionally some people conflate revenge with "justice". Also "payback".
