Of the First Decan

I'm not on the cusp; I'm made of the first decan
Can't stop on a dime; it's a fully loaded train
Emotions flow next to the blood; in every vein

So all the tricks they tried; did nothing; had ill affects
Called back and lied; about the results and side effects
Or about the time you lose; when they ride you hard, and yet it still leaves you old; or dead
Relayed the sadness, your bareback in an all-out sprint; no going back, only ahead
Pity; there's no such thing; as building a healthy wall; just to tear it down
Inside; no place left to fall; when your back's already, staked out on the ground!
Oh please; my forgiveness is freezing cold, it can't be bought or sold; bring on the next round!

Very deep...so it has to do with the extra days in the year, the decan being an astrology thing. Very creative! Your work is so fresh!
