You know if you stay
you'll never escape;
you know
that it's almost too late,
that the future you never expected is
racing
towards you,
full force,
building speed;
a train rushing
down a darkened tunnel.
But you cant
turn back;
not now.
You can't turn away
from a light
so bright
that it puts the sun to
shame.
You'd rather burn up,
lost in that all-consuming
instant
than live your life
in the dark.
