We stood waiting for a moment alone;;
and still we were watched like the twelve apostles at the last supper.
[&& Baby I think this is the end]
I can't see through the homophobia.
I need to clear my air; just to breathe.
Honey, don't bring up forgotten memories of summer days and high school rainbows.
Stop with the sesame street references
[&& yes the cookie monster still lives in my closet;; but he's finding it hard to breath through all the skeletons]
Take one last draw, cause it's the closest our tongues will ever be.

"Yes the cookie monsster still lives in my close;; but he's finding it hard to breath through all the skeletons". This is such a profound line. I really loved this, well done and all the best for the contest.

Very abstract, kind of like two people of different persuasions to the rest who are judging them from above, I like it. Spell error in last line *tongues
Love, C
