A winter's day
In a deep and dark December
I'm alone
Gazing from my window to the streets below
On a freshly fallen silent shround of show
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
Don't talk of love
Well I've heard the world before
It's sleeping in my memory
I won't distrub the slumber of feelings that have died
If I never loved I never would have cried
I have my books and my poetry to protect me
I'm shielded in my armour
Hiding in my room safe within my womb
I touch no one and no one touches me
I'm a rock I am an island ...
And a rock feels no pain
And an island never cries ...
