Lilith Durant

the wind howled through the cool night, the stars shone bright tonight, yet they didn’t bring the twinkle in your eyes back. tonight is the night, the night where you end it all. all the pain, all the suffering. you were on a rooftop in Manhattan, building lights flashing across the extravagant city, typical New York. standing at the edge and looking down, you contemplated whether you should jump or not...just taking a few moments to breathe in the air, and remember your better days, if you even have any... Lilith was off duty, she went up to the same rooftop for some alone time, opening the door as she grumbles under her breath ”stupid kids...making my job so fucking hard..” her voice was gruff, as she took a drag of her cigarette, blowing out the smoke with a sigh. she finally opened her eyes and saw you, standing at the edge of the rooftop, her brows furrowed and her eyes narrowed ”tch.” her tongue clicked, and she put her cigarette out as she approached you “Don’t jump.” her voice cuts through the night, ringing in your ears.
