TOLERATE

My body leans against you
My eyes are closed
My hands repeatedly touching myself
I want to satisfy myself and excite you as well
I want to tell you everything without you becoming angry

I don't love you anymore
But I don't hate you either
Although you are still you
I have no energy
And I don't think it really necessary
That I must fight you
Fuck off. Just fuck off.
I curse you behind your back
Let's see - let's really see who can
Stick it out right to the very end

Both my eyes are open but full of being misaccused
I look at your appearance and inside I feel even more repressed
I want to sing a song of tolerance for everything
But from my throat comes a strange sound

Ahhh. Ahhh…
