It Was Too Late

I had rejected each warning. 

I hope there is something left in me worth mourning. 

I was on a mission to sacrifice-

Some part of me unspecified. 

Memories that I cannot define. 

Days where there was still time.

Weeks that eluded me- weeks that trickled away. 

A narrowing hope- a painful stay.
