A winter´s day
In a deep and dark December
I am alone
Gazing from my window
from the street 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 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 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
