Damp Face
I wrote this inspired by irreconcilable situations that can't be changed, they only hurt. I hope it captures some of that.
Damp Face By Asher Wolfstein
In night sweats I still lay, Shades of cold, so far away Anger on repeat, point complete, Ditches titanic, tears chthonic Foundations melancholic, Morality mnemonic, words tectonic Father alcoholic
Love unspoken, always choking Couldn't affront, didn't confront, Stood beside you, hand in hand, Learned to grow, tended the land
Garage again today, smiles forsake Truck window landscapes Can't cry, won't be moved, Fear dies, won't preclude
Try to reach, can only feel Don't teach, only know Resigned mothers, cereal dinners, Never have, always hold
Dreary color, wrong decade Dwell forever, never escape Fertile grounds, sunlight scrapes Six feet under, smoke and pain Pounding rain, clouds regain Sad life will spring again
