A winter's 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.

I've built walls,
A fortress deep and mighty,
That none may penetrate.
I have no need of friendship;
friendship causes pain.
It's laughter and it's
loving I disdain.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

Don't talk of love,
Well I've heard
the word before;
It's sleeping
in my memory.
I won't 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.
