I am alone

Gazing from my window to the streets below

On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow

I've built walls

A fortress steep 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 won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died

And my poetry to protect me

Hiding in my room safe within my womb
