The Point of No Return

Inspired by those moments when you know you've really done it without knowing why.

you check the door, unlocked

with heart racing

you jump inside the driver's seat

he or she left the key in the ignition

without a thought you jerk the car 

alive

jam it in reverse and sharply back out

the driveway

floor it through the sleepy suburb

until you're 5 miles from where you were 

a second ago

no plan, not a soul in the world would understand

you jumped in the flames for the sake of getting burned

sitting in someone else's car, under curious stars

far past the point of no return
