Enough, he said with voice pitched low Enough for now, he whispered slow And curled in upon himself Having nothing left to show Knowing no one and nonself Enough, he cried though no one heeded Enough for now, as he retreated And left another piece behind Having no faith to be intreated Perceiving his own broken mind Enough, he proclaimed with a tremor Enough for now, if I remember And cursed himself a fool Having no word to condemn her Aware that she was ever cruel Enough, he shouted above the gale Enough for now, and beyond the pale And twisted his face into a scowl Having nothing to add to the tale Conscious of the verdict’s howl Enough, he cursed deep and vile Enough for now, with poet’s style And laughed with bitter fortune Having lost the courage to smile Mindful of his full lost portion Enough, he screamed from soul deep Enough for now, as he woke from his sleep And shuddered as his eyes opened Having nothing and no tears to weep Heeding the anguish that life betokened

Enough For Now, Enough Forever
Enough, he said with voice pitched low Enough for now, he whispered slow And curled in upon himself Having nothing left to show Knowing no one and nonself Enough, he cried though no one heeded Enough for now, as he retreated And left another piece behind Having no faith to be intreated Perceiving his own broken mind Enough, he proclaimed with a tremor Enough for now, if I remember And cursed himself a fool Having no word to condemn her Aware that she was ever cruel Enough, he shouted above the gale Enough for now, and beyond the pale And twisted his face into a scowl Having nothing to add to the tale Conscious of the verdict’s howl Enough, he cursed deep and vile Enough for now, with poet’s style And laughed with bitter fortune Having lost the courage to smile Mindful of his full lost portion Enough, he screamed from soul deep Enough for now, as he woke from his sleep And shuddered as his eyes opened Having nothing and no tears to weep Heeding the anguish that life betokened
