"When Time is Insignificant"

by Max Phineas

The thing is
he was a figment
And you can ignore figments to your heart's content.
(Though your mind pleads for reason...)

But when you see him,
When I saw him, rather,
he was really there-
The flesh and blood embodiment
of the transparent, faceless name

And now those letters bear Weight
And heave themselves into my subconscious
Mind made heavy
The definition of a sinking heart.

And I know he is the comfort
Co-Bearer of your personal history...


I was just hoping to be the fresh start.

Your understanding about matters of the heart, just like your high school poetry about life, has a mature contemplation. Too often we learn the hard way.
