Explore Me
Once he wrote, “Trust in the Lord in all that you go through and encounter,”
 Something like that because the ripped letter was all I could remember,
 And he cried teardrops that stained blue lines and black ink,
 A paper-thin heart was all he could think,
 But he never had time to explore me or the One who created him,
 I wasn’t good enough for him, only a human made of skin.
 
 He only had time for winning and success,
 Now, he left me with thorns instead of roses
 And a canvas as a painted mess,
 And sometimes he pours out of me on these lines,
 But only when I find I can’t seem to cry,
 Not here, when the music of love plays in a distant room,
 Maybe it is coming to explore me soon.
 
 Sometimes I wonder who shall do the comforting now,
 When you’re chasing your dreams wearing a golden crown,
 And I’m looking across from me into his eyes
 Thinking happily that you’ve decided to tell me goodbye.
 
 I told my love to take this time to explore me,
 In all that I am and can be,
 Explore every inch of me until you’ve got a map memorized
 My emotions whirl around like the wind for a ride,
 He promised he would love me on the inside.
 
 
 And I trusted in Him, even when you were busy being free,
 He decided my lock didn’t fit your key,
 I only wish, out of your jaded eyes, you could finally see,
 That pain never felt so good when I knew you weren’t meant for me.
