There Goes

There goes the life
I had been living.
There goes the gift
I had been giving.
There goes the world
I had been preparing for.
There goes all my hopes
Right out the door.
There goes the thoughts
I had been thinking.
There goes the chains
That were holding me down.
There goes another one
That kept me breathing.
There goes the dreams
I had been dreaming.
There goes angels
Guiding me to my light.
There goes the little bit of sleep
I got each night.
There goes the sun,
The moon, and the stars,
And there goes you --
Wherever you are.
