A Most Unexpected Betrayal

We were best friends, from long ago;
            supported each, with husbands too.
With couples, singles- we'd all go
to dinners, concerts, trips- a few
                        of the rewarding things we did-
just us, the group, had fun amid
good years with seniors in our grid.
      Your husband passed- and we were there
            to comfort you with time and care,
                        for your new life, help you prepare.
Soon, day by day, we felt the blow-
            our friendship you did not pursue;
      replaced your spouse- away you slid.
            We feel betrayed- this was not fair.
