On the Abyss

Days passed with a deadly slowness, each moment feeling like an eternity. I lived in a whirlpool of sadness and loss, not knowing how to escape it. Every morning, I woke up with the same heaviness on my chest, the same dark thoughts haunting me.

I sat in my dark room, lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling as usual. Suicidal thoughts began to creep into my mind, whispering to me that I would only find peace in the end.

“What’s the point of all this?” I whispered to myself. There was no one to hear, no one who cared. I felt like just a shadow moving aimlessly.

I slowly got up and walked toward the mirror. I looked at a face I no longer recognized. My eyes were drowning in sorrow, dark circles surrounding them as if a testament to the long, sleepless nights I had endured.

I remembered every moment we spent together, every word, every touch. But those memories no longer brought me happiness; they were like thorns piercing my heart. I needed release, in any way possible.

At that moment, I decided to go out and wander the city, hoping the fresh air would help me think clearly.

I walked through the crowded streets, feeling like a ghost among people. No one noticed me, no one cared. I stopped at the bridge overlooking the river; the place was eerily quiet.

I looked at the flowing water below the bridge and thought about how easy it would be to end my life. Just one jump, and everything would be over.

“Is this the solution?” I asked myself out loud. The answer echoed in my mind: “Yes, maybe this is the escape.”

I sat on the edge of the bridge, my feet dangling over the void. The wind whipped through my hair, and I felt the cold seep into my bones. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

I could hear nothing but the sound of the wind and the water under the bridge. I felt the peace, the calm I had been searching for all this time. At that moment, I realized I had made my decision.

“Goodbye,” I whispered softly, as if speaking to the entire world.

In a single moment, I let myself fall into the void. I felt the cold air rush against my face and the water approach quickly. There was a strange sense of liberation, as if I was finally freeing myself from all the pain and sorrow.

Then, I felt the cold impact, the water wrapping around me and taking me into its embrace. Everything was dark and quiet, no sound, no pain. Just silence.

In those final moments, I remembered everything. I remembered the love that was, the pain that followed, and all the moments we spent together. But now, none of that mattered anymore. I was about to end my journey, and finally, I would find the peace I had been searching for.
