The hidden word
In “me” is me
Its good it rhymes
With poetry

I’ll write the words
You’ve torn apart
And hold the shreds
Up to my heart

The masking tape
In time, repairs
The fact that I
Have words to share

Words of life
That imitate
A dying art
I learn to hate

For if I make
It “me” in me
Then I must not
Care what you see

I’ll only heal
And stave remission
If its all for me
My only mission

For now, I'll stop
And say “The End”
I know in time
My heart will mend

Walt, this was filled with pain. The shorter lines work well for you I think! Gives your work an edge....
