So if light is "pulled" into a black hole by following the curvature of seriously bent space time. Then I question, why does it not eventually come back out the other side? If its not literally being dragged in then shouldn't it ride through the whole thing and eventually come back out? From this perspective it either hints at deeper mechanics of black holes or light.
When spacetime is curved a straight line can do strange things. For example, when you travel in a straight line on the curved surface of the earth, if you go far enough you'll end up back where you started. When you draw two parallel straight lines on the curved surface of the earth, if you extend them far enough they will intersect even though parallel lines aren't supposed to intersect. When you draw a triangle on the curved surface of the earth, you'll find that the sum of the interior angles is more than 180 degrees, although that shouldn't happen when you connect three points with three straight lines. And that's just curved space, not even curved spacetime.
Now, light always travels in a straight line in curved spacetime, but as the examples above show, straight lines in a curved space can behave in strange ways. Inside the black hole, the straight lines in spacetime followed by light (and the straight lines followed by free-falling objects, and the not-so-straight lines followed by powered spacecraft trying to escape) all lead to the singularity at the "center" of the black hole. So the light doesn't come out the other side because there is no path out - no matter what direction a light flash is moving inside the event horizon, it ends up at the singularity instead of passing through the horizon to the outside.
You may have noticed that I put the word "center" in scare-quotes. That's because "center" tempts us to think of the interior of the black hole as a sphere with a singularity in the middle, sort the way that a cherry or olive or similar fruit is a sphere with a seed in the center. It's not. We're talking about lines in spacetime, not just space, and once you are inside the horizon you are separated from the singularity not by space but by time so the singularity isn't in a different spatial position from you, it is in your (not very distant) future. You cannot help but reach it, for the same reason that you cannot help but arrive at noon sometime after 11:00 AM.
