Fading

I tried to look around
a sea of black is all I found
I'm alone in the dark I don't want to stay
my view of light has faded away
no more images of people on my mind
forever lost my eyes are blind
I've taken for granted what God has given me
gone, every thing i use to see
lost what I know hold dear
to see nothing is what I fear
no more just a faded dawn
a moonless night has falled upon
my sight like the fading flame of a candle stick
fate took away my sight why was I its pick
this cures a never ending scorn
for my sight I shall morn
