Just Enough
By Chimauron
Someone told me that I shouldn't be greedy. That I should try to remember
that there are certain things in life that one can get by on with "just
enough" of it. So I made a list of things that I have Just Enough of:
Just enough intelect to realize how stupid I really am
Just enough sanity to know that I will soon go crazy
Just enough contact with others to know that I will never truly fit in
anywhere
Just enough feeling in my heart to know it is dying
Just enough life left in my soul to feel it slowly bleeding out
Just enough knowledge about life's intricacies to know I will never fully
understand them
Just enough memory of her face for it to haunt me time and again like some
sadistic vengeful spirit
Just enough of her scent left on my pillows to keep me awake at night wishing
her side of the bed wasn't as cold and empty as a freshly dug grave
and just enough whiskey in this bottle to help me sleep through one more
night without her.
