i like trains

my thoughts race fast like a train on the tracks. 
dangerous and fast. 
they fly by faster and faster.
the tracks chatter and chatter. 
the thoughts speed. 
the darkened tunnel is approaching. 
is this the end…?

the thoughts are screeching to be heard. 
louder and louder they call. 
sparks fly from the rails 

the train comes to a halt. 
the thoughts stop. 
nothing but silence.
the thoughts will never be heard. 

never.
