Starless Skies And Parting Words

Would I be disowned and roundly condemned
If I were to hasten my own end
While years disappear I wilt from the guilt
Finding no pleasure in the shrines I've built
Unrelenting correction and cuts no longer mending
Loud disapproval of my leisurely spending
Wishing I just didn't give a lick
But your judgements stick and the damage is quick
I no longer find solace in my favorite haunts
I just sit there dispensing the intended response
You just carve away layers to uncover my core
But my sweet candy center isn't there anymore
Flirting with the trifles which you treat as though taboo
Fundamental fears which scare you through the through
Dire ruminations I ought to not disclose
You stood by my side 'til we stood opposed
My money poorly spent on nothing permanent
A filthy deviant with no will to repent
Breathing grows shallow as eyes narrow
No longer feeling the pierce of your arrows
Dismay betrayed by a tranquil expression
Afraid to reveal my inner affections
In this life I've frequently strayed from the course
Shouting myself hoarse in heated discourse
In slight compromise there's little I've gained
Just lasting resentment and utter disdain
