Wrath Poem by Cardinal Chang

I remember staring out into that beautiful ocean blue
I remember sitting atop the balcony as I thought of you
I remember the way your shady green eyes would glimmer when the waves came
I remember when you jumped off the balcony in a rage
Scared that all we had worked for had came to an end

but you were wrong
you jumped too soon
I was holding your hand I should've jumped too
And now all I wish to do
is put your anchor over my neck and let you drag me into your depths
I wish I could sink below to wherever your body hit
I wish I could've found you and dragged you ashore
i wish our dreams would've ended with sweet things

but now all I can do
is stare at all these old photographs of you
in which you seemed to smile so carefree
neither of us had any idea we would take it so far
but I knew when we both stepped up on that ledge
and the icy waters danced beneath our feet
you were to be the only one to jump
for I was frozen with fear
I watched your body fall
and get swallowed whole in those drifting waves
I watched your body float
and I could only stare knowing it wasn't supposed to end this way

You died alone, fearless looking death in its face.
I died on the ledge a cowards death for I cant live knowing I was the reason this all took place.
