Wooden Heart

Frigid, cold walls, surround the wooden heart,
Splintered and bare, having lost it's protective bark,
Lonely & Starving it searches for nourishment,
Unable to break through the armour of it's own making.

Nice, says a lot in a few words. "...Frigid, cold walls..." A thaw on its way I hope

I like it too mw. Definitely a desolate feel which I guess that you were attempting to achieve. One observation if I may? Is the capitalisation of 'Lonely and Starving' a typo' or is it an attempt at personification? If it is the latter can I suggest removing the 'it' afterwards, this would increase the impact and make more sense. Good effort nonetheless. Welcome to the site by the way.

Thanks scratch, I appreciate
