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 for 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've 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.
