Holly Moon - Understanding pain

Being hurt,
Feeling pain,
I understand,
It's normal,
A trigger,
To heal.

But the pain of love,
Another matter altogether,
No visible wounds,
No physical scars.

Help me understand,
What is the pain for lost love,
Would there actually be a rip,
In the heart,
Or in the cells of the mind?

We are but chemicals in a frame,
I didn't know chemicals could feel pain,
What a construction we must be,
So finely meshed in flesh,
Now who planned that?

A higher intelligence there's sure to be,
Call it what you will,
Truth is there for all to see,
Unless we close our eyes,
And actually blind be.

We have no control,
Not even on ourselves,
How can we think we can plan,
Such a universe,
Sustaining life.

All we do is but destroy,
And we ask why God permits,
Simple,
He's patient,
Just waiting for us to realize,
That we're allowed freedom,
To decide,
Good and bad,
Bear the consequences,
Don't ask why,
When you know,
You've done nothing,
To change the flow,
For one fear or another,
No excuses,
you're just another.
