I Fear

I Fear

you will
leave me,
lose me,
hate me,
want me,
need me.

I fear
you will
not love me,
not need me,
not want to stay,
not try hard enough.

I fear
you will
leave me
and
love me.

So you danced the night away,
In your best black dress,
Champagne runs through your blood,
Wine roses shade your face,
And you can't help but think of him.

It's all so new.
It's young and shy.
And so are you.

But you know better.

Hoping for nothing,
And you can't help but think of him.

A drunk poem from yours truly

I'm not your cigarette

May 2016 Roman Soanco

Rose Amberlyn

I'm not your cigarette

Why don't you forget about me.
When you're feeling lonely.
When you need a ****.
How about you forget about me.

I am not your cigarette
Smoke me and leave me on the pavement.
Why don't you forget about me.

Why don't you leave me where you found me.
Alone.

Flask

Pour into me and I'll be your flask.
Take a swig when you need it.
Fall onto me and I'll be your cushion.
Leave when youre ready to.
Curse at me and I'll be your fondest memory.
Look back at me when you need to.

I'm many things. But I'm not your doll.
And I'll speak when I want to.

Coal

Coal

black as night
staining everything he touches
filling and damaging the lungs
of that minor miner girl
who was just trying
to find the diamonds within him

but what she didn't know
was that he had only one diamond
it was the minor miner girl
and he gave her away
so now she feels poor
but someday she'll see
that she is a rarity

dear minor miner girl
I am but a jewelry cleaner
but I love you always.

I stood in the shade
listening as the afternoon
talked about the morning
feeling left out
because I slept so late
