A.u.S.

Hearing my name with fear
And yet happy - so happy - so happy
To hear it
Mine is remembered - what follows is all the same
Whether injustice - whether contempt
What follows is all the same

I hear a word from your mouth
Everything in pain
My name in pain

My lips form words
But the tongue does not strike them
Fear keeps me silent - so silent
And keeps me wrapped colorless
Opportunity missed
Remark wasted
Meaning lost
All in pain
Rejection follows once again

I miss that freedom
That a lover does not know
But I miss the love
That receives the lover
