Love to a man, pain to a scientist

Why does my mind flee far away from here
To where my lover rests her auburn head?
It feels enforced, as if a puppeteer
Tweaks heartstrings 'til my mind has loveward fled.
And why, my soul, d'you ache as if you're bruised
Whenever I must tear myself from her?
As if we pulled apart two metals fused
And left it to wholeheartedly demur.
 
But seeing as my heart's so governed by
What science can't define, the question's fair
And I'll have no respite until I know
How my mind works despite me. Therefore I
Must wander long and hope to be prepared
To answer by the time I'm six below.
