The Darkness is coming
For my eyes are hurting
And the Beast is on his way,
And the name of the Beast
Is CMV Retinitis.

He is the taker of the light,
And the killer of sight.
Why does he have to come for me ?
Why can't I e spared
Just this one Fight ?

If I have to love my life to Aids,
Why must you also take away my sight ?
Please, Give me a little more time
Before you take away my eyes,
For my sight is all that I have left,
That is of any value.

So if you must have your pound of flesh
I will gladly give you my right arm,
If you will only
Let me keep my sight just a little longer.

For I am not yet ready
For the darkness to come down upon me,
So Please, I'm Begging you,
Do Not come for my eyes tonight !
