I Am A Rock

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.
Its laughter and its loving I disdain.

I am a rock,
I am an island.

Don't talk of love,
Well, 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.
