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.
