# 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
