He's on the edge, staring blankly at the dark abyss below.  Tears on his cheeks, broken heart in his chest, contemplating to end everything, wanting everything to just stop.

He's now inching closer and closer and my chest and lungs constrict tighter, air finding it hard to make its way down my throat. I ran. Ran towards him. I screamed. Screamed for him to stop.

I love this man, with all my heart. I'd do anything for him. He's the reason why I fought so hard against my mind to survive. He's the one who taught me that love is a choice, and no matter how much it gets hard, I'll choose him over and over again.

I'm choosing him again now.

He looked back at me, and he shook his head from side to side. He doesn't want me to come near him. Just then, he inched closer to the edge and with just one more step he will fall.

Panic rising, I did what I have to and ignored his protests. And when my fingers can almost touch him, he screamed. I stopped, tears already falling non stop on my cheeks while I shake my head.

Don't do this, I screamed. Don't do this to me.

I walked closer and gripped his shoulders. I looked at my hands and realized they were shaking. I was shaking the whole time. Fear. I am afraid of losing him forever. I gripped him tighter at the thought and begged him more.

And then, he pushed me.

He pushed me in the dark abyss. Before I could even react, I was already falling. The face of the man I love was the last thing I saw before everything went pure black. My chest tightened at the sight. Oh how I wish I could wipe those tears away, but his face were so far away from my hands.

I'm sorry.

I then felt the hard ground hit me. The silence screams on my ears, defeaning, everything was pitch black, blinding, the solid ground cold on my back, excruciating. I fought hard to breathe, frightening.

I then remembered my angel's face, and realized that this is all nothing compared to the pain he was feeling. My heart was about to burst and I screamed, knowing I can't do anything to help him.

I'm sorry, love.

He will jump. I know he will jump. I saw it in his eyes and I felt the fear on my heart. It was all real. This is real. And I don't know what to do.

I stood up, my whole body aching. But I have to.

Maybe, I'll just catch him from here. That's all I could do.
Not a poem but I have to put it here.

Seeing the abyss
In the chill of the evening
The rain’s pouring down

Spinning around in the night
Waiting for darkness or light
I don't want to be back here
That place which only breeds loneliness and fear

Where everything is grey
And night is the same as day

Where love is just tasteless food
And nothing can improve my mood

Where I feel still even though I'm moving
And every touch feels cold no matter how soothing

Where everyone feels distant,
even though their love has been constant

Where the sun is just a sting in my eye
And the moon simply hides me while I die

Where every action is pointless
And my love and care feel worthless

The place where my heart feels numb
And being alive feels dumb

That place which is just dust and sand

That place which has no beginning...and no end.

There is a place inside my head were darkness lives,
A place I’m afraid of,
A place I go too far too often,
A place where I’m afraid that I’ll never see the light again,
There’s a place inside my head…

The ground I walk on is cold and hard,
I feel the ground start to crumble under my feet,
And ever so slowly I keep walking,
and the ground beneath me starts to fall,
I’m falling in to the endless abyss of nothingness…
where I belong…
and where I will stay...
