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.
But I've heard the words 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
