The Polygamist's Platonic Pallbearer

 As I helped you to your plot

I couldn’t help but wonder

why you let me fly 

and crash

in the span of one lifetime.

A slow crime.


We met under the plainest of circumstances:

you happened to walk past me on the street,

and when our eyes synced up,

I knew you were my new obsession.

Platonic love is a full-time profession.


The other bearers,

they love you,

but they never connected with you

on a spiritual level,

which is fine.

It guaranteed me more time with you.

Now that you're gone,

what am I to do?
