Monotony I can hear that plodding and empty feeling. Sounds like climbing a staircase, bells, and I concur with Guileness that there is a feeling of winter in it.
I'm sorry about the emotional break that led to creating it, I'm happy that you can put emotion into art, and even when your art may be sad or melancholic in deeper ways than letters alone can convey, may you remember to not be defined by those parts of you alone.
Wish you well, and i'm glad the ice cream helped.
Ever considered making an ice cream character that gives of itself to help others be in a better state? May only be treating the symptoms rather than the core, but that can still be of help in first steps for the other person to get to the root of what whirls inside their heart and mind.
