Last Day Of Term

Tall railings remind you,
doubts in the back of your mind.
The gates are closed,
was there, something you left behind?
Maybe; your hopes, your future,
that certain something you always seemed to lack.
Turn around my little girl,
you know you can never go back.

Cling to your memories,
happy hours and playground games.
But, wasn't it your best friend,
that always called you names?
You hurt inside, but laughed aloud,
with a smile that would never crack.
Turn around my little girl,
you know you can never go back.

There's a certain sadness,
attached to the last day of term.
It's too late to revise,
what you never, ever learned.
Just now that distant light at the
end of the tunnel fades to black.
Turn around my little girl,
you know you can never go back.
