She'd spent half her life
trying to find God
on Facebook.

Surely, the Algorithms 
would advise her
of mutual friends?

He couldn't possibly be
so stoic as to ghost her
indefinitely.

I've read this several times.
The obvious meaning of God is that of a father who walked out on the subject when she was a child.
But that's it. After that epiphany, S2 and S3 don't add much to the narrative. Or maybe I missed something.

I agree 1/2 with Busker, but think just stanza 2 should go.  S. 3 adds some detail about that Father/God, and about the narrator.

Facebook has existed for half of her life?
Sounds like my kind of girl.

Another quarter of her life, and I'll be dead.

I'm sure if God made himself known, she'd be bored by the end of the month.

God stays quiet, because if he didn't, The Time of the Great Boredom would destroy the need for God.

A mystic can live in God all the time, and never have it fade.
Endless joy.

I'm glad aliens haven't become evident in the press, and in obvious terms of reality of this Earth.
When that happens, it will be run into the ground, and be commonplace.
And if aliens are. Then there will be different aliens.

MYSTERY

The Whore of Babylon. MYSTERY.
Direct, ONENESS. That is GOD.

But mystery is so much more fulfilling.
