A winters day
In a deep and dark december
I am alone,
Gazing from my window to the streets below
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow
I am a rock,
I am an island
Ive built walls
A fortress deep and mighty
That none may penetrate
I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain
Its laughter and its loving I disdain
I am a rock
I am an island

Dont talk of love,
But Ive heard the words before
Its sleeping in my memory
I wont disturb the slumber of feelings that have died
If I never loved I never would have cried
I am a rock
I am an island

I have my books
And my poetry to protect me
I am shielded in my armor,
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb
I touch no one and no one touches me
I am a rock
I am an island

And a rock feels no pain
And an island never cries
