grousing about old news
he was a narcissist, egotistical and puffed up
I wanted him to leave, she groused, but he never would.
No one would help me.
this is her weekly lament.
I prayed he would go off with someone else.
I have her on speaker, so I do not have to reply.
She thinks I am still listening.
He was stuck up and pretentious.
there is a pause….
But he did leave you, I reminded her.
God did help you.
She has been twelve years a widow.
Why she cannot let this go, I have no idea.
