"Coming to the realization that I must die"

This is another poem by Ryan Jake which I received a few days ago.  -poetheart 06/15/00

Here I lie my body broken
My mortality like a long lost token
Pain runs down my gnarled spine
With heartfelt pain, I ask why?
Coming to the realization that I must die

Blood runs fast - So red and free
I cannot stand this agony
The pain complex in its own way
I shall not wake another day

To leave my soul shall glide
Upon the golden chariot I shall ride
Taking death as my eternal bride
No longer the need to cry
Coming to the realization that I must die
