Runaway Train

enjoying the sensation
thought I was in control
so powerful I felt
while pleasantly she rolled

to late before I realized
no longer could I steer
for now she owned my spirit
this journey I began to fear

my destination
I could not venture a prediction
for I was aboard a runaway train
fueled by my addiction
