Life on Rails

I once thought my life was static
A train set onto its track from infancy
Destined to follow its path from birth to death
And no matter how much the rain pours
Or wind blows
Or snow falls
Or even if the track rusts
This train had been set to speed, 
And would never stop for anything

But then you came along. 
You raced along beside me on your horse
You hopped aboard, like a bandit in the night
You moved up the train to come find me
Pushing through the swathes of red tape and heavy bodies

You came to me
You unmasked me, and didn't even know it
And you showed me the way off this train
Just in time for it to plunge off
Into the bottomless abyss
