A wintersday, in a deep and dark December.
I am alone. Gazing from my window to the streets below.
On a freshly fallen shot of snow.
I am a rock, I am an island.
I build walls, a fortress, steep and mighty that nothing penetrates.
I have no need of friendship, friendship causes pain.
It's laughter and it's nothing I distain.
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, sacred in 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.
