Sestina

He sat there, crying, alone in the dark
Glaring out into the pouring rain.
Through the water, he sees a light.
He stands up from his seat, and begins to walk towards it.
A horn shouts through the air.
He could now hear the train.

He keeps walking, knowing he'll meet up with the train.
He knows nobody will stop him, alone in the dark.
A deep breath, he takes, full of cool fresh air
Dampened by the falling rain.
His life was falling apart, and he knew it.
Surrounded by black, he walked towards the light.

In his chaos, stress dimmed his light.
The man's whole world felt like the wreck of a train.
A life like this, he couldn't enjoy it
So he walked in the rain
Inhaling his last breaths of air.

As the train grew closer, it moved the air.
He was blinded, and disoriented by the oncoming light.
Through the sound of the horn, he could still hear the rain.
He could see, leaning out of a window, the conductor of the train.
Sparks flew from the tracks, and, for a short time, lit up the dark.
He hoped it would be painless, if he kept walking towards it.

Knowing he had only one chance to back out, he decided to take it.
Sudden moke from the engine clouded the air.
The light shined above the smoke he was under, he was trapped in the dark.
Sparks were hidden in haze, he could not find any light.
His heart skipped a beat, as he could not see the train.
He was going to die, on the tracks, in the rain.

He looked up, and took a face full of rain.
He found that he wasn't bothered by it.
In less than ten seconds, he was under the train.
A short, gurgled scream, rang through the air.
Everything went black, until he saw a new light.
He walked towards the light, to escape a world shrouded in dark.
