Mind Games

by Becky

Far away,
shrouded from sight,
a man lies dormant,
in a demon of the night.

Buried within,
void of a voice,
this unsuspecting innocent,
doesn't have a choice.

He lies in wait,
for what's to come,
evil is here to stay,
and he knows it's won.

Glimpsing his love,
watching her smile,
it seems like forever,
though it's only been awhile.

He wants to be with her,
he wants to regain,
an identity lost,
as well as his name.

But the struggle is useless,
his chance is past,
the all powerful evil,
will make itself last.

He secretly wishes,
that she somehow knew,
but even if she did,
what could she do?

For she cannot fight,
what remains unseen,
premonitions are vacant,
as are her dreams.

Can she still trust him,
when the truth comes to light,
or will she be forced,
to do what's right?
