It is very strange what affects us deeply, and what doesn't.
For what its worth, even though the poem isn't truly anything spectacular in literary terms, it strikes me as being a very good thing for what it is. One human, trying to do anything to help another, trying to lessen the burden that one knows the other is feeling even when they could not recognise each other at all. Trying to lash out against the unfeeling cold that the world too-often seems to dish out to those who did not ask for it, who did not deserve it.
I hope you never feel the same need to write again, but don't be scared to try to write more poems. Even when erased afterwards, I find that getting words out of my head can help all sorts of emotions settle down.
