Bone

You are bone.
You can crack
Deteriorate, contract
You are hard, but breakable
You are firm, but shakable
You are bone.
 
But I am stone.
 
I can’t break.
I can shatter
But to you that hardly matters
You walk on me
You don’t talk to me
I am stone.
But you are bone.
 
You are real.
You feel pain
You are sane
You are solid, visible
You’re the norm, admissible
You are real.
 
But I am steal.
 
I am metal
I have no nerves
I’m unaffected by your words
If I trust, it makes you lie
I would rust, but I won’t cry
I am steal.
But you are real.
 
You are wine.
Much too sweet to be forgotten
Intoxicating, nothing rotten
Slowly savored
For your flavor
You are wine.
 
But I am water.
 
I am water
Plain and least desired
Tasteless and unpurified
Never mind I’m part of earth
The part of you that is not dirt
I am water.
But you are wine.
 
Bone, real wine
You’re so much better than I.
 
Stone, steal, water
But I’m the one who’ll live forever.
