Does anyone know about a collection of poems titles "Runaways"?

Question

I am looking for this book that is a collection of poems. I remember the title as Runaways but that may not be the full title. One of the poems has the repeating line "please don't flunk me" and goes on about this kid forgetting to write an essay or something for class. A complete title and author would be great. THX

The collection is called "Runaways" and the poem mentioned above is called "Current Events" or at least I think those are the titles. Any ideas?

Mary, I think it is. Do you have the author/ editor/isbn or any other way to find it?

Sad Love Poem
Runaways
© By Estevan Vega

Runaways


Sorrow leaves me cold and torn,
Staring at pale Winter's sky;
Forgotten love a whisper's scorn,
These wounds I've failed to hide.

Such broken legacies remain,
From disconcerted lullabies;
Gray paintings all left in disdain,
On this somber winter's night.

Your golden eyes have saved me,
From all that once was I,
Now only you can break me,
If this heart be what you deny.

I feel the warmth your lips do bring
The sirens too did sway;
Take flight with angelic wings,
Neither truth nor lie can stay.

These scars of my obsession,
Bleed and burn with decay;
E1ndless winter beholds this sin,
For lovers are but runaways.
