Falling

(I just want to write down the story that's been floating around in my mind because I feel the characters coming to life. The story does have a male protagonist and I think that it was never really a choice for me because when I thought about him, I felt like I already knew him.)

"Darling, for you to feel this sad
You must have once felt so happy
And you will find that feeling again
And it will be beautiful." - (E.K)

----------------------

I rush up the cold stairs of one of the many skyscrapers overlooking the New York skyline, this particular one has become my safe haven though, which is why I'm here right now.

I open the heavy metal door, and leave it to close by itself not bothering about the banging sound the door makes, I turn around and breathe in the crisp morning air. It's 4:25 am.

My breathing is erratic and I feel the frustration and anger that's been bubbling up take centre stage.

The sound of the streets coming to life below plays the role of my very own background music for this auspicious occasion. I step up to the railing, curling my fingers around the cold metal and look down, taking deep breaths and trying to calm down.

I get up and lean on over the ledge, squeezing my eyes shut, dancing with the possibility of death. The moment is right. Everything that has gone wrong in my life has been leading me up to this point. My breaking point. I feel calm though, as if this is how my end is supposed to be and maybe if I just lean a little bit further ..
