Derailed

A plea bargain is cracked open
Only to be buried by a staged smile
Ditched by those who ride its back
Under the setting sun of envy

Undone and bleeding, it spits right back
Ready to choke its worth back to life
It does not belong in this dead end

It disappears as one lays beside it
Bored to death by weak arguments

A tamed beast can be found lurking
Among the dangers it stands for,
Hunting down the prey it finds
Far from the grudge it held dear

Impressive findings are traced back
To a crossing of derailed dreams
