Her Best Friend Poem by Ruby Honeytip
Her Best Friend
He left a message on her voicemail
She saved it and she listens
She listens and burns.
She is a fool
Such a fool!
An innocent knee
Pressed against hers
Sets her alight where they touch
She is a fool
Such a fool
She listens to his beautiful words,
And lets them flow to the middle of her heart,
As she stares at the base of his throat.
She is a fool,
Such a fool
As soon as he leaves her
She feels a universe of hidden sentiments
Descend upon her tongue
She is a fool,
Because...because....
She shares him with so many just like her,
And she's the easy target amongst them all.
Alas...he'll have her gentle heart forever,
Because she is a fool
Only a fool.

this is excellent, it has a song-lyric quality to it which i really enjoyed. it reminds me of the song by The Descendants that Sublime covered, called Hope. You managed to convey the same emotion with simple observations that a lot of poets would OVER-write to convey. great! :)
