Fading Light

Fading light off in the distance.  Shine your light down on my soul,
 help me to see in life, what it is I have been missing
free me from this dark depressing hole.
I remember a time  when we were close and my soul was at peace,
 Now,  I feel like I am far away from your reach.  
I lost everything I owned,  Including  what I meant to me...
The light that once shined in,  suddenly went dim! 
I got caught up in a fog,  forgot who I am and where I was  supposed to be              
I ignored temptation,  walked away from Satan, but some how he still got in,
Plagued by nightmares & voices,  depression and poor choices, 
I was lured to a dark place disguised as my home.
I’m looking for a place called heaven, trying to get in on my own,
I’m asking your forgiveness and to let your light be shown...
