surrender is always an option

surrender
is always an option,
i tell myself
as i wait
for the phone to ring,
for a birthday card,
or letter
of apology
to arrive in the mail.
how long
can you stare out that window
and look up
and down the street.
sometimes you need
to just go
to bed
and forget about it.
