Authors note: Chapters 3-7 have Provence my suspicions correct. Dr. Jekyll is protecting someone that he doesn't want to see get hurt in any way. He has such a passionate connection with this person that he is willing to put himself into the line of fire to insure that nothing bad happens to him.
Alone.
Alone is what I feel.
Alone in this dark place where no one can find me.
No one will ever be able to find me.
I don't want them to.
If they find me.....I will be revealed.
If I am revealed.... then everyone will know.
If everyone knows.....then my game will be over.
If my game is over.....than I have lost.
I am not the only one who has lost however.
You have too....you now know why I have to Hyde.
Why I have to be alone.
Why I stay in the dark.
If you know you will never be able to forget my face.
Lastly my dear friend, my face can never be erased from the mind.
It is that revealing that once it's seen you won't be able to see anything but the horror.
The horror of the truth.
I really like your use of repetition in this poem. It creates an effect that, in a way, sort of adds to the feelings and confusion of the story. If I had a suggestion, it would be to add a bit more anaylsis or something that helps it all connect together. You say in your authors note that one person wants to protect another but your poem seems to focus on one persons stuggle with himself. I guess what I'm saying is just have one definite and obvious topic to write about. I like your ending sentence of the horror of the truth. An idea would be to maybe emphasize the "horror" aspect of it. Overall, though, nice job. :)
