So I haven't been here in ... well far to long!
I was thinking of writing in a comp and then I went through the new comps and found .. well.. depression, depression and some more depression...oh and some hate and some self hate...
So nothing has changed since I left...."sighs"...
Okay...
30-50 words and your prompt is the song Iris by the goo goo dolls..
And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
'Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
And you bleed just to know you're alive
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
So go for it...or don't whatever...
Mention the band man!

Good luck with the contest! I might try to enter, for I love this song!
I've written a piece before based on this song, and even though you aren't accepting pws right now, I thought you might like to read this just for fun.
