I Never Saw It Coming

She used to take my calls and commandeer them. It was all about her. If I wanted to add something she would have to “go” which meant hang up. She would always beg me to bring my other friend to stuff. Because she was a name dropper Apparently I was not a big enough name. So I did, wanting to please her. She would run toward our mutual friend, Lavishing her with welcoming overtures. I thought it was amusing. I can always entertain myself. One day she wanted me to do something against my ethics. Against my moral code, against my soul. I told her I could not, and did not realize our “friendship” was over Until I discovered she had blocked me from her phone. I was surprised, and saddened. Mostly saddened. I never saw it coming.
