Analysis of Love Boner
Prove your love is as fragile as a bone
Calcified externally, yet soft marrow middle
Extraordinarily strong, yet
easily broken by its own weight and stress.
Bones grow and mend themselves
Yet they erode over time,
Becoming porous and brittle.
Will you be bones with me,
human and real and fallible?
Let's turn to dust together.
