I Am a Rock

A winters 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
 Well 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
