luella
| half asleep by the phone | 1 |
eyes heavy with embarrassment | 2 |
not falling | 3 |
for the chance that maybe last night's call | 4 |
might come tonight | 5 |
angry with myself for asking | 6 |
(expecting) | 7 |
and knowing now that setting limits | 8 |
to close you out | 9 |
(at the end of one week, | 10 |
or two?) | 11 |
isn't healthy | 12 |
but best | 13 |
since knowing that | 14 |
if you were to call after that | 15 |
i'd have forgotten | 16 |
that anger | 17 |
was ever an option | 18 |

I like the end, a lot. It explains the situation, and sounds lovely.

this is great. I don't know about "anger" -- the word has no place in poetry, but the poem before that is so great that I can forgive it.

Nice. It seems to say a lot without being overly wordy.
