Not helping but hurting

 It's getting chilly 

My heart's still heavy 

Your consolation doesn't help my desolation 

Your words are like snowflakes disappearing once I hold it 

Your actions are like a river in the dried season 

It's really cold outside or is it my heart that's iced

My heart is heavy 

Your affirmation doesn't help my depression 

Your words feel so hollow as if they're an empty bottle 

Your actions are like grasslands in the winter 

It's freezing outside 

My heart is dry

Your proclaimation doesn't help my devastation

Your words feel so weak as if it were a twig that snapped when a bird sat on it  

Your actions are like the window that can't be opened
