A winters d ay in a deep and dark december
I am alo ne gazing from my window to the
streets below on a
freshly fallen si lent shroud of snow
I am a rock I am an island
Ive built walls a fort ress deep and
mighty that none may penetra te
I have no need of friendship
friendship causes pain
Its laughter and its lov ing I disdain
Dont talk of love Ive hea rd the
word before Its sleeping in my mem ory
I wont disturb the slumber of feelings
that have died
if I never loved I nev er would have cried
I have my books and my poe try to protect me
I am shielded in my ar mor
hiding in my room safe within my womb
I touch no one and n o one touches me
And a rock feels no pain
and an island never cries
