Being hurt, <br /> Feeling pain, <br /> I understand, <br /> It's normal, <br /> A trigger, <br /> To heal. <br /> <br /> But the pain of love, <br /> Another matter altogether, <br /> No visible wounds, <br /> No physical scars. <br /> <br /> Help me understand, <br /> What is the pain for lost love, <br /> Would there actually be a rip, <br /> In the heart, <br /> Or in the cells of the mind? <br /> <br /> We are but chemicals in a frame, <br /> I didn't know chemicals could feel pain, <br /> What a construction we must be, <br /> So finely meshed in flesh, <br /> Now who planned that? <br /> <br /> A higher intelligence there's sure to be, <br /> Call it what you will, <br /> Truth is there for all to see, <br /> Unless we close our eyes, <br /> And actually blind be. <br /> <br /> We have no control, <br /> Not even on ourselves, <br /> How can we think we can plan, <br /> Such a universe, <br /> Sustaining life. <br /> <br /> All we do is but destroy, <br /> And we ask why God permits, <br /> Simple, <br /> He's patient, <br /> Just waiting for us to realize, <br /> That we're allowed freedom, <br /> To decide, <br /> Good and bad, <br /> Bear the consequences, <br /> Don't ask why, <br /> When you know, <br /> You've done nothing, <br /> To change the flow, <br /> For one fear or another, <br /> No excuses, <br /> you're just another.<br /><br />Holly Moon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/understanding-pain/
