Her friend should know. She gets unwound
By playing lonely men she's found.
"Here, have some more of this sweet wine.
Your husband's body's looking fine!"

The drinks excuse their opened hearts.
She wants to flash her private parts.
To keep her down, "He's not that good.
He doesn't do the things he should."

She has not felt him deep within
For weeks, no, months. "How long's it been?"
"It's been three years." "It's been that long?
It's your own fault if something's wrong!"

With his firm touch, a giggle goes,
And where they are, nobody knows.
They squeeze ripe fruit before it rots,
And both agreed they liked it lots.

So deep

There is such a lot behind the little story in this poem - something sinister and deeply sad. The decadence suggested by their bodies likened to ripe but decaying fruit is very powerful. For me, the rhyme hammers the message home by making it very tight. It does not detract in any way.

Let the images ripen in your poems

Intriguing image at the end of the poem. I wish you developed it more throughout the poem. Otherwise the poem was more like rhymed straight narrative.
