Please Enter Coordinates To Your Heart

I wrote this unaware, exposing my true vulnerability
Conversed with my pen to halt its ink but paid me no mind as it showed off its ability
Quarantined my heart from further pain exploitation, blatant immaturity
Questioned my ability to forgive since it's you again making my tears fall on this paper uncontrollably
God has given you nothing but time as I wait on you agonisingly
Add any word from you in this love blender and I would have forgiven effortlessly
Love is weird because weirdly it falls on individuals not deserving, that's the policy
I can't question God's ability; he replaced my verbal quality with a pen deservingly
Dad!........yes you, the reason for these squeaky sounds on this paper
I hate the sore existence in me of this anger
Your pride has lost us years plus this pen should be capturing something else
Instead I beg for our souls to reach an agreement before we reach God cause that will be something else
Creating a family without you has this picture looking obscured
Just by you saying "you love me", best believe I will be cured
