A winter's day
In a deep and dark December
ย
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
ย
I've built walls
A fortress deep and mighty
ย
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
ย
Don't talk of love
Well I've heard the word before
ย
It's sleeping in my memory
ย
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
ย
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
ย
And a rock feels no pain
And an island never cries
ย
