I saw her standing in the sun that day.
She saw them hand in hand across the way.
She saw them put their arms around each other.
Then they kissed over and over.
I saw her turn in pain that day.
Then they turned and walked away.
I saw her watch them out of sight.
She gritted her teeth with all her might.
She was falling in love.
It was easy to see.
With her best friends lover.
How could this be?
She asked herself, "How can this be so?"
She was falling in love with her best friend's beau.
The agony and pain was too much to bear.
Her best friend didn't matter.
She did not care.
One day by chance they were alone at last.
They walked, they talked. Things happened so fast.
She would sneak around behind her back.
Until one day she caught them in the act.
Neither her or her friend seem to understand,
That he is just not a one woman man.
That he will never settle down and stay in one place.
There will always be another he is waiting to chase.
They said what goes up must come down.
What goes around must come back around.
So I will just wait around until this story comes to an end.
And wonder what will happen to two best friends...

This is an awesome poem. Man the guy in this poem sounds so much like my ex Greg. He was dumped many a time for being a womanizer before he finally settled down. Enjoyed the read! Thank you for entering my contest.

Serious dilemma you write of here. It's never easy to find that you've fallen for someone who's taken. I know! You share your thoughts and emotions very well in this piece. It has a good rhythm and rhyme. Thanks for your entry!

Hi
I cannot imagine a more dastardly act than the act of betrayal of a friend by making time with a best friend’s significant other. This willful, selfish and cruel deception is not the behavior of a friend. If an attraction is present between a significant other and a best friend it is incumbent on the best friend to reveal the situation immediately even if that revelation may bring into conflict the friends relationship with the significant other. Trust between best friends should be more highly valued than a fleeting romantic tryst.
“All is fair in love and war” does not apply between best friends.
A very well written poem and I enjoyed reading it.
Thank you for your glowing comments concerning “Primal fear”

Not bad. The story is by turns juvenile and adult, and you segue between the two pretty well. Some of the rhyme is a little childish, but overall I like this one - especially the twist at the end. - oce
